Radiohead just blessed the world with a new song to download entitled “Harry Patch (In Memory Of).” The song is available to stream here. Now this isn’t just any song, it is a somber tribute to Harry Patch, the oldest surviving World War I soldier in combat who died on July 25th at the age of 111 (thats right one hundred and eleven) and will be layed to rest on August 6th (reported now as only three verified surviving WWI veterans alive). The download is priced at £1 ($1.70 U.S.), and the profits are going to the a veterans’ charity set up by the Royal British Legion. Buy the song here. Patch served from 1916-18, fighting on the battlefields of France in 1917. Now his memory is forever immortalized in song, inspired by Harry Patch’s words.

“The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.” -Benjamin Disraeli
