Sydney Lucas

Sydney Lucas, né le 21 septembre 1900 à Leicester (Angleterre) et mort le 4 novembre 2008 à Rosebud (Australie)[1], est l'un des derniers vétérans anglais de la Grande guerre.

Il est engagé en août 1918, mais ne participe pas au combat, étant encore en formation le 11 novembre 1918. Réengagé pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il échappe au combat pour la seconde fois, cette fois à cause d'un problème de santé.
