  • I saw a documentary about this brave man today. The part where he visits a German war grave almost had me in tears (especially when he said 'Years ago they were my enemy, today they are my brothers')

  • i cant say how much i respect you harry so all im going to say is

    well done and thank you

  • 'War is a license for murder' quote from Harry Patch, RIP mate :'(

  • @TheSirRoberto He was offered, he told them to get lost. He was anti-war he was disgusted at the British State for sending young men to be slaughtered. A true hero.

  • Would love to have seen this old boy to thanks him and shake his hand, Would be one of the honours of a lifetime

    God Bless, and thank you Sir

  • His body was brought in a German car. How times have changed in his lifetime.

  • @ben9DB He gets the huge ceremony because he was actually lucky enough to survive. Very lucky to survive in such hell.

  • Should have been given a state funeral :/

  • @berserker276 maybe because all his friends killed in the war were just chucked in a ditch somewhere, yet just because he was lucky enough to survive, he gets this huge ceremony.  Not my opinion but the opinion of some, I believe.

  • The last Canadian WW1 Soldier died last year. :/
