th last British ww1 veterans left. Whats intriguing is thinking how big of a country China is and how man masters of some secret or ancient styles are left from the late 19th century.

Great stuff! I was in the VA hospital 21 yrs ago with one of the last American ww1Veterans. The Brigadier still coughed at night from the mustard gas. Heartbreaking stuff.
