This summer, the City of Moose Jaw erected a plaque to Pvt. George Price, of Nova Scotia and then Moose Jaw, the last known Commonwealth soldier to die in battle in the Great War. Serving with the Nor’West Battalion of the Saskatchewan Regiment, he was shot by a German sniper in Ville-sur-Haine, Belgium, at 10:58 am, November 11, 1918 and died a minute later.
By coincidence, he is buried in the same Commonwealth cemetery as the first British soldier to die in WWI, Pvt. John Parr.
God rest their souls, and all those in-between.
