Not all wounds are visible.

This PTSD Awareness Month, we honor the courage of our veterans. Not only for the battles they faced in service, but for the challenges many continue to face long after returning home.

PTSD can affect anyone who has experienced trauma, and for many veterans, the scars are unseen. Awareness, understanding, and support can make a life-changing difference.

Let’s break the stigma, encourage conversations, and remind those struggling that they are not alone.

The war ended at 11:00 AM.
A Canadian soldier was killed at 10:58.

His name was George Price.

November 11, 1918.
Ville-sur-Haine, Belgium.

The Armistice had already been signed at 5:00 AM and was set to take effect at 11:00.

Yet the fighting continued.

The Canadian Corps kept advancing.
German soldiers kept firing.

Private George Lawrence Price of the 28th Battalion was crossing the Havre Canal with his section when a German sniper found him.

He was 25 years old.
Born in Falmouth, Nova Scotia.
Serving in France since 1917.

The bullet struck him at 10:58 AM.

Two minutes later, the guns fell silent.

Price is recognized as the last Canadian and last Commonwealth soldier killed in the First World War.

The men beside him watched him die.

Then they watched the war end.

Imagine standing next to a friend as he takes his final breath...

and moments later hearing a silence that had not existed in Europe for four years.

The artillery stopped.
The rifles stopped.
The machine guns stopped.

But George Price was already gone.

Today he rests at Saint-Symphorien Military Cemetery in Belgium, where the first and last Commonwealth soldiers killed in the war are buried in the same cemetery.

His headstone looks like thousands of others.

Same stone.
Same shape.

But the date engraved on it is unforgettable:

November 11, 1918.

The same day the world celebrated peace. 🇨🇦
