Happy Armistice Day

Dedicated to the memory of Pvt.G. E. Ellison, last British casualty of the war, killed at 10:57, Nov. 11, 1918. Also to Pvt. Henry Gunther, last US casualty, killed at 10:59, two minutes later.
Also not to be forgotten, General Sir Arthur Currie, commander of Canadian Forces who, during the final fifteen minutes of the war, facilitated the pointless and symbolic retaking of Mons by the 5th Royal Irish Lancers, who'd been driven from the city in Autumn of 1914.
Capt. Harry S. Truman, commander of Battery D, 129th Field Artillery, 35th Division, whose battery fired 164 rounds of 75mm on the morning of the 11th and who didn't even inform his men of the armistice until exactly 11:00.
Mostly dedicated to the unknown German machine gunner who, at precisely 11:00 fired his Maxim's entire belt into the air without a pause, then climbed up on the parapet and took a bow.
