Reply to comment by czarchastic in TIL that Henry Gunther was the last soldier to die in World War I. The war ended at 11 AM and Gunther was killed at 10:59 AM while charging a German machine gun by IAmDavidGurney
He was ordered not to advance any further because the armistice was coming and it wasn’t worth the risk.

I get that he was ordered not to charge, but I don’t see anywhere that says he was told about why
