Britain's last surviving WW1 officer dies

Professor Norman Porteous, who died earlier this week in Scotland aged 104 was Britiain’s last surviving World War One Army officer.
Norman Porteous served in France between 1917 and 1919 and saw action with the 13/14th Royal Scots Infantry regiment having interrupted his theology studies to enlist.
After the war and on subsequently becomong Professor of Old Testament studies at Edinburgh University and as a result of his WW1 experiences he sought reconciliation with German theologians by establishing close links between Edinburgh and Tubingen University in Germany.
He pursued this goal right up until 1939 then resumed the Tubingen connection post-war.
Professor Porteous became Professor Emeritus in theology at Edinburgh and his death means that all the British Army officers who served in WW1 are now literally history.
