While many of the enlisted men in the armies of the First World War would've been happy to stop fighting before 11am on that famous day, the reality most of the officers felt dictated the continuation of the conflict up until the end. The interpretation in AQotWF is probably fabricated, as soldiers would've been eager to end fighting in the minutes leading up to Armistice. There were of course exceptions, such as the American soldier Henry Gunther, who, eager to prove is loyalty to his country, charged a German machine gun nest despite pleas from both his comrades and enemies to stop, as Armistice was minutes away. Even earlier that day, many allied offensives would be carried out at the discretion of the Commonwealth, French, and American officers. The reason for this is that the Armistice would not have been a guarantee to end fighting. Most officers in the allied armies didn't see how the Germans could simply stop fighting after four years, and expected the Armistice to be a mere pause in the war before the inevitable invasion of Germany. Thus, they sought to take as much strategically important territory before the fighting stopped to weaken Germany's position when the fighting resumed. So, fighting would continue before the implementation of the Armistice, although it's a little dramatized in AQotWF as officers understood the opposition most soldiers felt to continuing fighting and thus halted further attacks before in the hours leading up to 11am.
