The saddest part is most of the only ones left are the ones who lied about their ages in order to enlist as teenagers.
Funny you mention that: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy5z3e64vpyo

A World War Two veteran who fought in the Normandy campaign after lying about his age has died aged 101, a charity has said.

Born in London in 1925, Donald Turrell was just 17 when he enlisted, having forged a letter from his parents to say he was 18.
 
Rest In Peace Justo Gallego Martínez, A.k.a. Don Justo (20 September 1925 – 28 November 2021)


I didn't even realise he died until today. He was a former monk who dedicated almost 60 years of his life to building a Cathedral dedicated to the Virgin Mary by himself in Mejorada del Campo, Spain.

The sad part is despite him requesting that he be buried inside the crypt, inside the cathedral he built, he was instead buried in the town cemetery after the local council decided that the crypt "did not meet Spanish sanitation rules" Fuck those rules obessed petty tyrant faggots, respect a legends dying wish.

I'm not even a Christian myself but I respect his dedication, faith, and artistry, and i'm sure he has been and will forever be an inspirational figure for many people.

My favorite CW quote was from A View to a Kill and it was in the way he delivered it:

I am happiest…in…the saddle.
