Guys / girls, full respect to Radiohead for putting pen to paper, but the real heroes are the men and boys who were sent to their deaths by leaders who possessed no morals, ufortunately the term HERO has been tarnished by modern media and somewhat demoted and now even a footballer can be a hero, Respect to both sides not just "our boys" because underneath it all we all bleed the same colour. RIP Harry Patch
This tells you for sure that war sticks with you for ever and cannot be rubbed off. It's incredible that someone was still alive back that far to tell about it.
that poor man he lived all those years thinking about his friends and you get true friends in the heet of the battle those young men will save your life and he said in his book he never killed a man his consionse is clear this world will mis him ido already and i never knew him thats comming from a ex guards man and i miss all our falen comrades rip harry and i hope the angles look after you the way you deserve
RIP great hero harry patch, my grandad fought with people like him in ww1 and ww2(i dnt know if harry was in ww2 aswell) but to all our forefathers thank you brave heroes
"they can ave their state funeral...;i shant know anything about it...." R.I.P Harry..
Harry like other late survivers of his modest generation didn't want to be singled out for a state funeral...rememberance day is enough for all the unknown soldiers.
Why the hell did the English government commit these crimes against Europe and itself? It certainly never improved the lives of Englishment anywhere in the world.
A true hero, fighting proper soldiers in a proper war. When the papers mention the word 'hero' think of what this man went through. This man was in mud, inches deep fighting heavily armed germans hand to hand with daily artillery bombardments.
so next time the papers mention our 'heroes' fighting afghan tribesman armed with a kalashnikovs while our 'heroes' hide behind helicopters, tanks, drones and wire guided missiles just think who deserves the tag 'hero'.
RIP A great man is gone forever.

In 2009, we have suffered great loss. Not one, but 5 of the last living links to WWI were lost:
January 10, Bill Stone
April 4, Netherwood Hughes
June 3, John Cambell Ross
July 18, Henry Allingham
July 25, Harry Patch
Now, only 3 links remain: Frank Buckles, John Babcock and Claude Choules

RIP Harry. Your efforts shall not be in vain.
You lived through the worst nightmares imaginable, and yet survived as a real gentleman and example to us all.
You put your life on the line again and again to save this country from foreign invasion, only to have the lefties betray all those who sacrificed
themselves in order that we may remain free.
Do not worry, we are here to carry that banner on, as it must, until we regain control of our beautiful country. God bless those who died ! RIP
