Send me a message
This is the story of George Edwin Ellison the last British soldier to be killed in the World War 1.
Amazingly, he is buried in the same military cemetery in Belgium, where the first British soldier killed in this conflict was also laid to rest, John Parr.
In this episode I also tell John Parr's story.
Just to make the story complete, I also share with you the last Commonwealth, the last American, and the last German to die - all on the final day of the war.
