TW32BE53 - Private (1), 28th Bn Canadian Expeditionary Force, Mons 1918

TW32BE54 - Private (2), 28th Bn Canadian Expeditionary Force, Mons 1918

These figures were named as 28th Bn Canadian Expeditionary Force to commemorate Private George Price, a Lewis Gun Number 1 of the 28th who was killed in action at 10:58am of the 11th November 1918 and the last British Empire soldier killed in action on the Western Front.

Tommy's War chose to commemorate Private Price as the range began ten years ago with one of the first British Regiments to enter Mons in 1914 (TW32001, Private 4th Bn Middlesex Regiment) who, it is said, had the first casualty in action of World War One when Private John Parr died on the 21st August 1914.

The sad irony is that despite their being four years between their deaths and the loss of millions of men both John Parr and George Price are buried in the same military cemetery on the outskirts of Mons.
