Harry Patch, the last surviving British veteran of the First World War died recently at age 111. His funeral is today at Wells Cathedral in Somerset, UK.
For those like him, fighting in a war deemed "the war to end all wars", many were not so lucky.
And so, it still goes on......
Forever grateful to those who gave such a lot, including their lives, for us to continue to live in freedom.....
