Harry Patch - Radiohead.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but I stumbled across it by accident and thought it might be of interest.

 

The lyrics are Harry Patch's own words.

 

Rest in peace Harry. Hope you're back with your mates now.

"I am the only one that got through

The others died where ever 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."

Failed to mention it, but for those of you who don't know, Harry Patch was Britians last surviving WW1 veteran, who sadly passed away in July this year, aged 111.
