This year has been tough...
I always fear to open this topic when it comes to the top.

Very sad news indeed.
May they all rest in peace ( RIP - QEPD)

Regarding Franz Schmid, does anybody have a picture of him? I've never seen a photograph of him.

I searched too, but no success so far.

What's the total today of those living as of this year? It's a shame that all vets of the war have passed away faster than the remains of the battlefields in which they fought.

Check the very 1st post of this thread (I made the suggestion to Andrew to add a updated total, so its easier to have an overview).
