Last Canadian serviceman to die in the First World War
St. John’s Anglican Church burial ground, Port Williams
George Lawrence Price was baptized at the Saint John’s Church in Port Williams in 1893. A monument erected at the church property in his honour in XXXX says Price was raised on his family’s farm on Church Street and eventually left Port Williams to work in Saskatchewan.
Price joined the Canadian Infantry Brigade in 1917 and committed to serve his country overseas.
“George survived a mustard gas injury on the Western Front and was shot by an enemy sniper minutes before the Armistice ended hostilities,” Price’s memorial monument in Port Williams reads. “He was killed in action 11 November 1918 and lies buried in Belgium, the last Canadian serviceman to die in World War.”
