Over at The Awl, Evan Fleischer published a long and moving piece about the last two surviving veterans of World War I that explores what it's like to be a survivor of a long-ago war that seems like ancient history to everyone around you.
UPDATE: Well, this is unfortunate. After we posted this yesterday, Claude Choules, last combat veteran of World War I, passed away at 110.
