Two young soldiers died in battle at Mons, Belgium in World War I. In most respects, their lives and deaths were representative of the hundreds of thousands who died in the Great War. But in one respect they are unique. Private John Parr, aged 20 from Middlesex in southern England, was the first Allied soldier to die in the Great War and four years later, Private George Price, aged 25 from Nova Scotia, was the last. Privates Parr and Price never met, but the circumstances of their deaths have linked their lives for eternity. First and Last tells their stories and, in so doing, tells the story of the War itself.
