FRANCE-MILITARY-WWI-HISTORY
French President Nicolas Sarkozy (C), his predecessor Jacques Chirac (L) and Prime Minister Francois Fillon (R) arrive to attend on March 17, 2008 a national ceremony in honour of the last French veteran of World War I, Lazare Ponticelli, who died on March 12, 2008 aged 110, at the Invalides in Paris. 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.
