An biography of the very last British soldier of world war one, he was 111 years old and died in 2009, well worth a read.
 
I agree, I have a copy and it is a good book. Harry comes over as a tough character, which he would've had to be, as a Lewis gunner.

If you enjoy reading books on The Great War then I recommend you try Terry Carter's "Birmingham Pals", Eddy.
