"LONDON (AP) – Florence Green never saw the front line. Her war was spent serving food, not dodging bullets.
Florence Green is presented with a birthday cake on behalf of the Royal Air Force at her home in King's Lynn, England, on Feb. 19, 2010.
But Green, who has died aged 110, was the last known surviving veteran of World War I. She was serving with the Women's Royal Air Force as a waitress at an air base in eastern England when the guns fell silent on Nov. 11, 1918.
It was not until 2010 that she was officially recognized as a veteran after a researcher found her service record in Britain's National Archives."
