Arthur Halestrap MBE (8 September 1898 – 1 April 2004) was one of the last surviving British soldiers of World War I.

After the First World War, Halestrap was employed by Marconi and worked with Cyril Evans, who had been the Californian's wireless operator on the night of the Titanic disaster.

Flying Officer (Navigator) John Philip Halestrap died on 4 March 1945, aged twenty, while serving with the 68 Sqdn.

In 2003, aged 105, he was the only British veteran of the First World War to attend the Armistice Day Ceremony in Ypres, where he rose from his wheelchair and, in a clear and strong voice, recited Laurence Binyon's poem "For the Fallen".

Along with Harry Patch and a few others, he was featured in the 2003 television series World War 1 in Colour as well as The Last Tommy on BBC 1 in 2005.
