Just finished reading 'The Last Fighting Tommy' which is about Harry Patch, the only surviving veteran of the trenches. Fascinating stuff, all of it. The book covers most of his life from his Victorian childhood scrumping days, through the action in the Great War, and his thoughts on the sinking of the Titanic and how insignificant it was to country folk!!
Makes you sit back and really feel bedazzled about how much the world has changed in the last 100 years and I have have experienced less than half of it. Harry has seen the whole century so goodness knows how he copes!
Anyone else read it?
