Radiohead’s Thom Yorke Writes Tribute to World War I Veteran

In 2005, World War I veteran Henry Patch gave a memorable interview to Today reporter Mike Thomson. Inspired by Patch’s words, Radiohead’s vocalist Thom Yorke wrote a tribute to the veteran. Patch fought at the battle of Passchendaele in 1917 and will be buried tomorrow. The song can be  downloaded  from the Radiohead website and all profits will go to the Royal British Legion.
