Farewell to Harry Patch: last survivor of the WWI trenches
"We were the PBI. That's what we called ourselves. The poor bloody infantry. We didn't know whether we'd be dead or alive the next day, the next hour or the next minute.
We weren't heroes. We didn't want to be there. We were scared. We all were, all the time. And any man who tells you he wasn't is a damn liar." Harry Patch

Radiohead have written a tribute song to Harry and all those who fell in WWI: you can find it on Youtube, but rather than post that link, I encourage you to go to Radiohead's website and download it for £1. All proceeds from the track will be donated to the Royal British Legion.
