There is an article in the Oct/Nov 2018 issue of Canada’s History called “The Last Man”, which discusses the story of a Canadian soldier who died at approximately 10:58AM on November 11 1918. It is an interesting story, as there were conflicting accounts of at what moment precisely he was killed and how (he tried approaching a Belgian nurse who was standing in the doorway of a house when he was shot by a German soldier).
Not all fighting ended on 11-11-1918. The 337th fought into and until 1919 in Russia against the Bolsheviks at the behest of the Allies. Read about the US “Polar Bear” Division, Detroit’s Own.
I have a set of books printed in 1919 that outlines the history of the Great War. There is a picture of men getting ready to fire an artillery piece. Guy with his watch out so they can make sure they get to fire it right on time. Keep thinking about the poor guys where the shell will land.
And in keeping with your post, saw on TV a year or two ago that the first and last British soldiers killed in the war died within a 1/4 mile or so from each other. I believe it was in Belgium. What a waste.
