You may be interested in this answer by u/Georgy_K_Zhukov to the question Henry Gunther was supposedly the last man killed in World War 1 having died at 10.59am on 11 November. If the Armistace was signed at 5.45am why did the fighting continue until 11am? Would the soldiers have been aware of the Armistace?
