Donald Rose age 110 passed away.

May he Rest in Peace.

Thank you @Cleoriff for the additional information and large photo of a Hero.

It is reported in the article you posted a blue link to that Mr Rose said he didn't do anything anyone else wouldn't have done.

Respect ....... R.I.P.

You find that attitude in so many of the old soldiers @RunrigForever

They always downplay how heroic they actually were. ❤️
