Last UK Veteran of WWI Trench Battles Dies at 111 - AP
Harry Patch, Britain's last survivor of the trenches of World War I, died today at 111. Patch was wounded in 1917 in the Battle of Passchendaele, which he remembered as "mud, mud and more mud mixed together with blood."
"Anyone who tells you that in the trenches they weren't scared, he's a damned liar: you were scared all the time," Patch said.
This man has witnessed horrors of war the likes of which today's warrior generation can barely imagine.
