I was reading an article about Remembrance Day yesterday & found the following piece so sad:
Although the Armistice was signed just after 5am, it was agreed that the war should not end until 11am. This left another 'glorious' six hours of shooting. Two minutes before the ceasefire, George Lawrence Price, a Canadian soldier, was shot by a German sniper, earning him the unenviable distinction of being the last known person to be killed in the First World War.
