Harry Patch, last British survivor of the WW1 Trench War honored at his funeral today. I was lucky enough to have traveled to Belgium this summer and felt a huge connection to the town Ypres, which is just a few miles away from Paschendale where so many 10's of thousands of British troops died in WW1. Glad the last surviving soldier was honored as the true hero that he was. RIP Harry Patch and all our other troops who fought and died during or after 'The Great War'. So comes the end of an Era in which there are people among us who fought during WW1, this makes me want to learn even more about it.
