Mighty Sad Thing: Death of Harry Patch-- One of Last Surviving World War I Veterans

I was going to write about the four remaining World War I veterans since Henry Allingham just died and looked it up on Wikipedia, but I could find only three verified ones. I had a bad feeling that since the name Harry Patch wasn't on the list, that he might have died.

I looked up his name on Wikipedia, and, unfortunately, he had died today.

Now, there are just three left.

Sad to Find This Out. Another of a "Greatest Generation."

I find a good article and pictures in tomorrow's Mail Online.
