Harry Patch, born 17 June 1898. Died 25 July 2009

I am the only one that got through.

The others died whereever they fell

It 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 ground

I' ve seen hell upon this earth

The next will be chemical but they will never learn.
