Ivy Campany

Ivy Lillian Campany (23 September 1901 – 19 December 2008) was, at age 107, the second from last World War I female army veteran of any country. The last is Florence Green (née Florence Beatrice Patterson; born February 1901), who was not identified as a veteran of the conflict until January 2010. This meant that Campany was believed to be the conflict's last surviving female veteran by the time of her death in December 2008.^[1]

Campany joined Queen Mary's Army Auxiliary Corps during World War I and would later serve as a fire watcher in World War II. She lived in Margate, Kent at the time of her death.
