The last soldier
Article Abstract:
James Hudson, who is now 101, recalls that he was very eager to join up during the first world war. He believes that his eagerness was influenced by romantic notions of protecting women and children. His clearest memory of the two years he spent on the Western Front is of lice, rather than artillery shells or comrades being killed. He became a dental surgeon after the war, and feels that he has done more for his country since the first world war than he ever did during it.
