<p>Patch had been unwell for some time and passed away peacefully at a care home, the ministry said Saturday. <br /><br />His death comes one week after another survivor of the conflict and the world's oldest man, Henry Allingham, died aged 113. <br /><br />Britain's Queen Elizabeth II paid her tribute to Patch saying: "We will never forget the bravery and enormous sacrifice of his generation." <br /><br />Prince Charles said: "The Great War is a chapter in our history we must never forget, so many sacrifices were made, so many young lives lost." <br /><br />"So today nothing could give me greater pride than paying tribute to Harry Patch," he added. <br /><br />British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said: "I know that the whole nation will unite today (Saturday) to honour the memory, and to take pride in the generation that fought the Great War." <br /><br />The defence ministry said Patch's funeral would be held in Wells Cathedral.</p>
