You're listening to Georgie breakfast here on B.B.C. Radio he's just gone 5 past 8. Now the going down of the sun we will remember them this weekend will join the rest of the country to remember those in Britain and the Commonwealth has been killed injured and affected by conflicts now this year as we've been saying this is the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended World War 14 years of conflict and more than 700000 British and Commonwealth deaths Today we're remembering one soldier you may not have heard of private George Alison George was born in New York and he was the very last pretty soldier to be killed in World War One Today the prime minister's reason may will place a wreath on his grave in Belgium B.B.C. Radio York Charlie Smith has been finding out more about private Allison. Myna he would he had previously been a soldier and signed up in 114 for the generation of the whole 1st wall for years and tragically and unluckily was the very final British soldier killed in action just an hour and a half before the armistice in November 1900 that was at Carlisle he's campaigning to keep George's memory alive in Yorkshire I want to find out more about him so I've come to his birthplace York. Was struck to occur on the 11th and the rim around about 09 Captain Mick help B. Is a curator of the Queen's world lances museum I mean you saw it all basically he was there. Are 94 to 6 again that still given the salient 16 on the Somme 7 sitting around the back with Kamber and right up to the last. Course where they are it will pushing through on the 100 Days offensive start only. Be there. Well there are grants if you like. The Germans they recall that. They were doing sort of for trolls on the outskirts of moms on the North used them almost. Certainly. Now my name or by his story I want to know what's being done in his memory. My name's Canon Michael Smith one of the presidential candidates here in Europe and stuff. Your comments to have a book a full in Harry's which includes George's name. I think is particularly important because there's a danger of. Only remembering the good bits the fact the we won and the fact that you know ordinary people gave their lives for us to have freedom and that all of us should be remembered should be on it and we should be giving thanks for it but we should also we should remember the whole thing and the whole thing is that yes there are $1400.00 some 7 names in there but on average if each person in that book had 4 members of their family and maybe 4 close friends then that number is multiplied to 1111 the whole 1000 individual people whose hearts were broken and lives shattered because these people died and they just we have to remember that as well the human cost in the pain and the suffering that went ways to glorious actions has to be remembered as well because that's the only way we're going to make sure that we don't do things like this and. That's Canon Michael Smith from your Winston ending that report from Johnny Smith and when you think 1477 people in the book and as he quite rightly says there were families attached to those one you know 1477 it's the ripple effect isn't it and can you believe that George Ellison lived through some of the darkest days of the 1st World War The Battle of eat the song the battle of Cambray. The 100 Days offensive right at the end of the conflict any to lose his life an hour and a half before that was signed the armistice was signed so many events taking place around North Yorkshire this weekend to mark the centenary of the I'll miss this and on B.B.C.

Know about your granddad and his brothers. Quite a bit but we're sort of putting more and more together and the last sort of month my sister and cousin up done a tremendous amount of work also help with the written grammar school has been a great help and piecing bits together how difficult is that been. One of the things we have found out is that. Uncle Arthur Scott was the only one of the boys who unfortunately was killed and this quite a lot of information available for those that work but those who came back the information is fairly thin on the ground. And these boys they signed up quite young didn't they yes there was Arthur Scott who signed up in 14 and he was 20 year old he was the oldest then there was Norman in 1915 he was 19 Tom He signed up in 15 as well and he was 18 years old and then there was my grandfather Wilford who was 18 when he joined up in 1917 and then Christopher he joined up as a 16 year old as a volunteer in 1917 goodness me I mean what does that make you feel like when you know this about your relatives your direct descendants really I can believe how my . Great grandfather and great grandmother Isabella must have felt when over 3 year period 5 sons went off off to fight after particularly after Arthur was killed because he died in 1916. I mean she must've just must've been in a. Dream Yes just it's just incredible to think washing all and I often think in the modern day there was the film session Private Ryan Well maybe we should have at saving quells men I'm sure there are lots of the families with big numbers of boys that went out is how old were you when you learnt about your grand and his brothers . I suppose are the sort of in my twenty's but my memories of Graham very much down at the racecourse where he was actually a director. But. In never spoke about it so it was only after he'd sort of passed away. And I go I got these medals that I really started to sort of really feel and think about it but I really didn't understand too much about the war until about 3 years ago and them Alison I went out to the to the Somme and we've hired a guy who. Done some research into Arthur Scott and he was killed in the battle. And he's was in the not somebody who usually is and his name is up on the war memorial. And we actually all. The battlefield of Mukhabarat from and it was just incredible and when we started to see all the pictures and move on before and after it was tremendous. And then after that we went to a village called home on and we. My grandfather Wilfred actually won the military metal and we actually joined at the sunken road with our guide and we walked through the village as it would have done we then came out of the other side just as the wall diaries set into open fields and up on the right was a readout where the Germans out of machine and that's where my grandfather won his military medal for reestablishing his men in a post in the machine gun a mortar fire and I. Quite understand he'll yeah I mean such an emotional journey for you in some ways really. Yes And you know Uncle Norman I remember very well he. Joined the family business with my grandpa. And then there was Tom. I never saw after the war he went out and forged a life. Was cursed. Stuck in this country but now to New Zealand Well it is amazing 4 of the 5 who survived the war and sadly Arthur who lost his life but thank you so much Andrea for coming in and giving us a glimpse of your family tree Well thank you for having with No it's been absolutely wonderful thank you so much Andrew Wells Yes we're talking about World War one who will you be remembering this weekend on the 100th commemoration of Mr listening to Judy at breakfast let's get the headlines from Nathan of us weather for you good morning thank you good morning to reason why he is visiting France and Belgium later where she'll lay wreaths at the graves of the 1st and last British soldiers to die in the 1st world war among them your born private George Edwin Ellison the last person to die in the war senior police officers investigating the suspected murder of your common Claudia Lawrence say they're frustrated after failing to find a match for a D.N.A.

You look at the papers today one of the fans Yeah well blue blue lights is as good as drugs for blood pressure that's in the Daily Mail Yeah apparently so blue lights reduces your blood pressure. And and doctors are looking at this in more detail now to save on drugs or whatever I don't know how you would administer blue light but that's a fact apparently So you know they have there's lighting boxes you could sit in front if you see if you suffer from SAD Seasonal affective disorders I wonder if it's something like that let's say out of the blue line I think it must be interesting to be convinced about that so they're all up late lovely Nextel next one hour balance how women made a valuable contribution to the war effort and this is in the orchard post and of course we're commemorating the since he knew the ending of the 1st World War and of course the images are of course of the Western Front and. Soldiers dying and fighting in the mud but of course for mustn't forget the the enormous contribution made by women in the war effort they were left at home to to tend everything from from farming through to looking after the family and without their effort then you know. Victory could not have been achieved I reckon and it's a very good article in the orchard post about this and it says the end by honoring our women we are honoring our men and recognizing that each played their part in a in a terrible time and I think that's absolutely right and of course it was so difficult when the chaps came back or some of them came back to resume their careers and the women got pushed aside Hogan let it happen in World War 2 you know well you know yeah i
