The end of an era Harry Patch RIP
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2009 11:34 am
Today we buried our last World War One veteran who actually fought in the trenches. The service in Wells Cathedral was really nice and Harry's coffin was carried by four soldiers from his old regiment and his coffin was escorted by two serving German soldiers.
The Eulogies from various people including the Ambassadors from Belgium France and Germany were very touching.

We will remember them.
