ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Harry Patch

Harry Patch was a man who lived a long time ago, and he was a very special person because he did something really important: he fought in a big war called World War I. This war was a very long time ago and it was very, very scary because there were lots of people fighting and many people got hurt or even died.

Harry Patch was a soldier who fought in this war and he was very brave because he had to go through really tough situations. He even got hurt himself, but he never gave up.

After the war, Harry Patch became a famous person because he was one of the last surviving soldiers who fought in World War I. He used to talk to people about his experiences and what it was like to be a soldier in the war.

Sadly, Harry Patch passed away when he was very, very old, but people still remember him and the important things that he did. He was a hero, just like the ones you read about in storybooks.
