- William Frederick "Bill" Stone (23 September, 1900 – 10 January, 2009) was one of the last five First World War veterans who served in the United Kingdom's armed forces and one of the last two seamen worldwide, along with Claude Choules. They were also the last two to also serve in the Second World War, although Stone saw action only in the Second World War as he was still in training when the First World War ended. Stone was born in Ledstone, Kingsbridge, Devon and enlisted in the Royal Navy on his 18th birthday. He served onboard HMS Tiger shortly after the end of the First World War, before serving on a number of ships including HMS Hood. At the beginning of the Second World War Stone was serving on the minesweeper HMS Salamander before moving onto the light cruiser HMS Newfoundland in 1941. After the war, he ran his own barber's shop. In his later years Stone was present at many memorial services including the 90th anniversary commemorations at The Cenotaph in London. He died on 10 January 2009.
- William ”Bill” Stone oli englantilainen veteraani ensimmäisestä maailmansodasta. Stone oli yksi vanhempiensa neljästätoista lapsesta. Hän liittyi Royal Navyyn 1918, jossa pysyi ensimmäisen maailmansodan jälkeen. Hän palveli laivastossa myös toisessa maailmansodassa, jossa hän selvisi kahdesta torpedoinnista. Sodan jälkeen hän piti yllä omaa parturiyritystään, jossa hän myi myös tupakkatuotteita. Stonelle myönnettiin useita tunnustuksia, kuten Britannian sotamitali, Atlantic Star, Africa Service Medal ja Puolustusmitali. Hän oli myös Kunnialegioonan jäsen ja esiintyi julkisuudessa vielä 2000-luvulla.
