Yakup Satar (11 March 1898 – 2 April 2008) was a Turkish soldier who is believed to have been the last Ottoman veteran of the First World War.
[1] Born in Crimea, Satar joined the army of the Ottoman Empire in 1915.
On 23 February, 1917, he was taken prisoner by the British in the Baghdad campaign's Second Battle of Kut.
Shortly before his 110th birthday, he was treated for a minor infection at a military hospital before being released home, where he lived with his daughter in the Seyitgazi district of Eskişehir.
[citation needed] His memories from the War of Independence and his daily life along with those of two other veterans, Ömer Küyük and Veysel Turan, are depicted in the documentary film Son Buluşma (2007) (English: The Last Meeting) by Nesli Çölgeçen.
