The last veteran : Harry Patch and the legacy of war
Parker, Peter, 1954-2010
Books, Manuscripts
The First World War was fought not by a professional army but by ordinary civilians like Harry Patch, who epitomised Edwardian Britain and the sense, now lost, of what Britain stood for and why it was worth fighting for. 'The Last Veteran' tells Patch's story, and explores the meaning of the war to the generations that have followed.
