At that time, fighting was to cease. However, as I noted in a <a href=\"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2015\/11\/at-eleventh-hour.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post <\/a>a few years ago, fighting continued and men still died right up to until that time. <a href=\"http:\/\/articles.baltimoresun.com\/2008-11-11\/news\/0811100097_1_henry-gunther-11th-month-war-i\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Private Henry Gunther of Baltimore<\/a> continued fighting to the end and was killed at 10:59 am as he charged a German machine gun nest. He was officially the last Allied soldier to die in combat.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, this <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2018\/11\/07\/eerie-recording-reveals-moment-the-guns-fell-silent-at-the-end-of-ww1-8114109\/?fbclid=IwAR283Ica5mgBfK5RFySFrRV3A9k_J5sXhklU7OltzjvoG2UW7aUpRHZ2k8c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recording <\/a>released by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iwm.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Imperial War Museum<\/a> in London is all the more eloquent as it begins with artillery fire and ends with the sound of birds singing.
