Allow me to post a story about the last Allied death (in today's G+M)...

On November 11, 1918, US army private Henry Gunther stood up during a lull in the machine-gun fire and charged the enemy. "The Germans stared in disbelief", says The Daily Express. "They had been told that morning that the fighting was about to stop; in a few minutes they would stop firing and go home. So why was this American charging at them with his bayonet drawn? They shouted at him to stop and frantically tried to wave him back but... he hadn't heard anything about any ceasefire."

A German gunnder released a 5-round burst and the solder lay dead at 10:59am . . . US military historian Joseph Persico notes that Private Gunther had previously been a sergeant but was demoted after an Army ecnsor read his letter to a friend back home, urging him to steer clear of the war at all costs.

Gunther, who was in no man's-land when the ceasefire news arrived, had been trying to prove himself worthy of his original rank.
