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

Two civilised nations, English and German, fighting one another, why? Why did we do it? Well said sir. RIP Mr Patch.

What a champion.

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.

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
