Britain Mourns the Loss of Its Oldest WWII Veteran, Donald Rose, at 110
London, July 12 (AP) — Britain has lost a cherished piece of its history with the passing of Donald Rose, the nation’s oldest World War II veteran, who died at the remarkable age of 110. Rose, a stalwart of the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, played a pivotal role in the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in northern Germany.
In a heartfelt statement released on Friday, James Dawson, leader of the Erewash Borough Council in northern England, hailed Rose as a “war hero,” expressing the community’s pride in having him as a resident. “Erewash was privileged to count him as a resident,” Dawson remarked, reflecting the deep respect and admiration held for Rose.
Just last month, Rose joined 45 fellow veterans at a tea party hosted by the Royal British Legion at the National Memorial Arboretum, commemorating 80 years since Victory in Europe Day. At the event, he shared poignant memories of his service, recalling that he did not celebrate VE Day at the time. “When I heard that the armistice had been signed 80 years ago, I was in Germany at Belsen. We just did what we thought was right, and it was a relief when it was over,” he said.
Born on Christmas Eve in 1914, Rose’s life began amid the turmoil of World War I. He enlisted in the army at the age of 23, serving in North Africa, Italy, and France. His bravery and dedication earned him numerous medals, including France’s prestigious Legion d’Honneur.
Rose is also believed to have been the UK’s oldest man, a testament to a life filled with resilience and service. His legacy will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of those who knew him and in the annals of history.
As Britain reflects on the sacrifices made by its veterans, Donald Rose’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and commitment that shaped the nation during one of its darkest hours.
