LIFE TIME ANTI WAR CAMPAIGNER
FUNERAL TODAY OF LAST SURVIVOR OF 1ST WORLD WAR - RIP HARRY PATCH
As the last serving soldier in the 1st World War and at one time the UK's older man is laid to rest the West Midlands Green Party send its condolences to his family and friends - Politicians should heed the words of someone like Harry Patch before asking young men and women to go to war.
'I am the only one that got through
The others died where ever they fellIt was an ambush
They came up from all sides
Give your leaders each a gun and then let them fight it out themselves
I've seen devils coming up from the groundI've seen hell upon this earth
The next will be chemical but they will never learn'
Harry's words to which Radiohead put their haunting music
