Is Her Majesty the Queen the world's last remaining head of state to have served in uniform in WWII?

Yes, I think she served tea & biscuits on 2nd October 1940 whilst wearing a rather fetching WRAF uniform -
No, she was an Army driver in 1945. There is a photo that records her changing a lorry tyre.Originally posted by KyajaeGod made men. Sam Colt made them equal.Comment

She may well be. Andrew Willoughby Ninian Bertie did serve in the army but only in 1948.
For those who don't know him, he is "His Most Eminent Highness Fra Andrew Willoughby Ninian Bertie, Prince and Grand Master of the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes and of Malta, Most Humble Guardian of the Poor of Jesus Christ"
Which apparantly makes him a head of state. On the plus side he's a top bloke who taught me a lot.Comment
