The Last Fighting Tommy. The Life Of Harry Patch, Last Veteran Of The 1st World War

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.
