also Frank McCourt - RIP from last week.

Unusual for people on this board to miss out literary deaths.

Harry Towb, yet another familiar face from countless TV appearances in my youth who now has a name!
And a fellow countryman too... :-(

Another Harry - Harry Patch - the last survivor of WWI trenches. The real horrors of the first world war are officially now no longer within living memory.

RIP
