Such was the designation of France's World War One veterans ("les Poilus"), and the last of the hairies - a clean-shaven 110 year-old as it happens - has finally shuffled off his stubbly mortal coil, so that the only remaining memories of WWI are now those consigned to the history books.
I wonder if there are any of his peers left in the UK, or elsewhere in the world, or is he really the last of his kind?
Rumour has it that his last whispered utterance was: "They don't like it up 'em".

Not a good shafting with cold steel, I'll grant you that...
