khaosworksAustralia farewells its "last Anzac", dead at 103
Australia was in mourning after the death of "the Last Anzac", Alec Campbell, 103, the last of 50,000 Australian and New Zealand Army Corps troops who took part in the 1915 Gallipoli campaign.
A father of nine, he died peacefully on Thursday at a nursing home in Hobart, capital of Australia's island state of Tasmania, with his second wife Kathleen by his bedside.
Flags flew at half mast around Australia on Friday and newspapers devoted their front pages to the passing of a living legend. He is to be given a state funeral with full military honours in Hobart next Friday.
