Last Tommy Dies Aged 111

The last British Survivor of the trenches, Harry Patch, died at his care home in Somerset on Saturday morning. Harry's death comes just one week after the death of Henry Allingham and marks the end of an era in British history.

Only one other British survivor of World War I remains and that is Claude Choules who served in the Royal Navy and now lives in Australia.
