Private George Edwin Ellison, from Leeds, has the unenviable distinction of being the last person to die '˜in combat' during the First World War.

He was shot at about 9.30am on November 11, some 90 minutes before the cease fire came into operation. But should never have died.

The Allies and Germany had signed the Armistice ending the war six hours earlier. They decided to delay its coming into effect until 11 am so that the message could be conveyed to troops at the front, a decision which cost Pte Ellison his life.
