We’re saddened to share that Donald Rose, the UK’s oldest WWII veteran, has passed away at 110.
A sniper with the Queen’s Royal Regiment, he served in North Africa, survived D-Day, and helped liberate Bergen-Belsen.
His legacy and sacrifice will not be forgotten ❤️
ALT Donald Rose, wearing a military beret and a dark blazer adorned with numerous medals and pins, sits with his hands folded. His jacket displays service ribbons and honours, including the Legion d’Honneur. He has a gentle smile and is pictured outdoors at the National Memorial Arboretum against a soft, blurred background of trees and blue skies.
