`An extraordinary biography by the very last witness of a devastating four years in British history' Daily Mail On 17 June 2009 Harry Patch celebrated his 111th birthday. At the time he was the last living British Tommy who had fought in the trenches during the First World War. Now that direct link with the past has gone. From Patch's vivid memories of an Edwardian childhood through the horrors of the battles of Ypres and Passchendaele to working on the home front in the Second World War and fame in later life as a veteran The Last Fighting Tommy is the story of an ordinary man's extraordinary life. A hundred years after the end of the Great War this powerful account of a life defined by those four devastating years remains as important and relevant as ever. This updated edition includes a new introduction as well as previously unseen photographs.
