Franz Kunstler, World War I Veteran, Austria-Hungary


Franz Kunstler was the last surviving WWI Veteran from any of the Central Powers, having served in the Austro-Hungarian military. He was a museum guide in Germany up until shortly before his death at age 107 on May 27, 2008. One of his grandsons provided me with the photo I used, taken shortly after the War. He signed this just a few months before his passing.
