When did the last Canadian die? Maybe they were considered as Brits?

Did the soldiers know the armistice had been signed and that the war was ending in a few hours? It makes me wonder about humanity if this was the case.

How did they communicate with the front lines that the war was over?

I’ve heard stories about gift exchanges with enemy soldiers in the trenches on a Christmas Day before. If this really happened, why didn’t they just lay down their guns after the armistice had been signed?

Another thing that shocks me, why isn’t November 11th a statutory Holliday in Europe (I have been in Scotland twice in November 11th) yet it is in North America?
