Harry Patch The Last Tommy Part 5

Documentary telling the stories of Britain's last surviving First World War veterans, known as Tommies. Harry Patch, the last British veteran who fought in the trenches during the Great War, and five other remarkable veterans, chronicle their lives after the Armistice of November 1918. Arthur Halestrap survived the war unscathed but almost died of Spanish flu; Claude Choules started a new life in Australia: Sandy Young was forced to find work abroad
during the Great Depression in the 1920s; and Bill Stone stayed in the Royal Navy and helped evacuate British troops from Dunkirk.
