Neighbors In Death

One of the Commonwealth War Grave Commission cemeteries housed the grave of the first soldier that was killed in the World War I.  His name was John Henry Parr and was killed on 21st August 1921. The last soldier to be killed in the war was Private George Edwin Ellison, on November 11, 1918. The astonishing part is that both of their tombs stand facing each other, the first and the last, in the same cemetery ground.
