Nope. An ancestor of mine died about 10 years later from complications of mustard gas. That the thing about war, soldiers don't quit dying just because the bullets stop. Buddy of mine died a few years ago from complications of wounds received in Viet Nam.

Can't read can you? Last to die in battle on the western front of wwI

Yes i can read quite well but evidently I was too subtle for you. I was illustrating a point. (pointing out a fact) I have seen war first hand. Always worried about the last to die. I now know that they continue dying. So the man who received the distinction of being the last to die was actually not the last. Just because others took longer to die does not mean they did not die in combat on the western front. If you had seen these things you would understand it.

No, if they died later they definitely didn't die in combat on the western front. That's not how space and time work. Were they casualties of war, absolutely, of course they were.
