The last known survivor of the First World War's trench warfare, Harry Patch, is 109 today.
He fought in the Battle of Passchendaele [otherwise known as the Third Battle of Ypres], one of the bloodiest battles in the Great War, where 70,000 soldiers died in just three months. In the battle, three of his friends were killed ans he himself was badly wounded.
Happy Birthday Mr. Patch! May there be many more.
