The last British survivor of the trenches in World War I, Harry Patch, has died at the age of 111.
He was conscripted into the Army aged 18 and fought in the Battle of Passchendaele at Ypres in 1917 in which more than 70,000 British soldiers and 300,000 Allied troops died.
The sole British survivor of World War I is now seaman Claude Choules who is aged 108 and lives in Australia.
Henry Allingham, who served in the Royal Navy and the RAF in the World War I, died at the age of 113 a week ago.
Mr Patch was born on 17 June 1898 and left school at the age of 15 to train as a plumber.
He was a machine-gunner in the trenches and served as a private from June to September 1917.
He was married twice and had two sons - both of whom he outlived.
