Fuck man. Those fellas died right up till that time man.
England decides what time it is
That's fucked

Someone died at 10:59
For the armistice to be declared at 11
Fuck sake

It's still just a fucking waste of life on all sides man

To be in ww1

*They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.*

@CheekyOGNutZach She's 5'5, I'm 5'11.
Henry Nicholas John Gunther (June 6, 1895 – November 11, 1918) was an American soldier and the last soldier of any of the belligerents to be killed during World War I. He was killed at 10:59 a.m., one minute before the Armistice was to take effect at 11 a.m
Lest we forget

Cholera was a thing then too huh
Mad bouts of it went through
Oi who's seen that film Peter Jackson made out of old WW1 footage
cholera was more prevalent in the 1800s
They cleaned it up and colourized it
@everyone for those of you that aren't aware of it & have got the time, I highly recommend Dan Carlin's podcast series on WW1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFMT_BVBBsA&list=PLJnf1UFnD1PW24q7XYfNAUO8HPDaPKa0Z
