Actually, I think that you're talking about WW1 vets here... I think that there are over 150,000 WW2 vets still with us.

According to a recent article in the Ottawa Citizen, there are 163,450 Canadian

World War 2 Veterans alive as of November 11, 2009.

Answer 2

In 2010, only a handful of WW1 veterans were still alive. By early 2012, they were all deceased.

In early 2012, the last person serving in any armed service during WW1 passed away. The last combat veteran of WW1 died in 2011.

Florence Green (nee Patterson), who joined the Women's RAF at age 17 in 1918, was the last surviving armed forces member. She died on February 4, 2012, two weeks before her 111th birthday (born February 19, 1901).

Answer 3

Claude Choules, the last known veteran of WWI, died on May 5, 2011 at the age of 110.
