William Stone was born in 1900, and is one of three surviving WWI Veterans living in England. He served as a stoker on H.M.S. Tiger. In the 1920's he served on board H.M.S. Hood. He was Chief Stoker aboard the H.M.S. Newfoundland and aided in the massive evacuation operation at Dunkirk. On the 90th Anniversary of the end of the war, Bill Stone, Harry Patch, and Henry Allingham are expected to be present for a wreath laying ceremony at the Cenotaph in London. This will probably be the final major anniversary of the Armistice where there are any Veterans of the War still living

Darren....His passing yesterday at the age of 108 reminded me of your kindness last year when you offered to send my picture along with your incredible drawing to Mr. Stone for his autograph. I thank you again. Jay..
