FRANCE-MILITARY-WWI-HISTORY
The hearse carrying the coffin of Lazare Ponticelli, the last French veteran of World War I, who died on March 12, 2008 aged 110, leaves the Invalides in Paris on March 17, 2008 after a national ceremony led by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The president laid a wreath in honour of the war's 8.5 million "poilus", the affectionate nickname meaning hairy or tough that had been given to French foot soldiers since Napoleonic times but became associated with World War I.
