Harry Patch, last British WWI veteran, dies

LONDON — An English nursing home says Harry Patch, the last British veteran of World War I, has died at 111.

The Fletcher House care home where Patch lived said he died Saturday.

Patch had been the last surviving British soldier who served in the 1914-18 war. The only other surviving British veteran of the war, former airman Henry Allingham, died a week ago at age 113.
