The Passing of History
Harry Patch, Britain’s last surviving WWI veteran, died at the ripe old age of 111. Another story said there are no surviving French or German veterans and one remaining American WWI veteran (a mere 108 years old).
It’s really amazing to think about everything Patch would have seen in his life. A transition from horses to cars and trucks. The rise and fall of Communism. Two World Wars. The crumbling of empires. Computers, space travel, the internet. That and more in one lifetime. RIP.
