2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

Harry Patch, born June 17, 1898, was the last British soldier alive to have fought in the trenches of the First World War. From his vivid memories of an Edwardian childhood, the horror of the Great War and fighting in the mud during the Battle of Passchendaele, working on the home front in the Second World War, and fame in later life as a veteran, The Last Fighting Tommy is the story of an ordinary man's extraordinary life.

What an emotional, eye opening book. I loved every page. It really makes it stand out that just because the war was declared over, it never was for the soldiers who went onto the battlefield!
