This undated photo released by the Australian Department of Defence on Wednesday shows World War I Navy veteran Claude Choules (right) with Commanding Officer of HMAS Stirling, Captain Brett Dowsing, at the Gracewood retirement village in Salter Point, Perth. Choules, World War I's last surviving combatant, will celebrate his 110th birthday on Thursday with a low-key party, his son said, describing his father as a "celebrity" who hates war.
