A 107-year-old World War I veteran is being given an honorary
degree at the university he helped build.
Harry Patch, of Wells, will receive an Honorary Masters from the University
of Bristol, where he worked 80 years ago.
The former plumber escaped death in 1917 as a light infantry soldier when
a German shrapnel shell burst overhead, killing three of his party.
