On Oct. 19, 1972, the last person fighting World War II was killed. That would be Private Kinschichi Kozuka of the Japanese Imperial Army. It happened in the Philippines. He didn’t believe the war was over and burned some farmers’ rice in what he thought was a guerrilla attack. He was shot by local police.
A shrine has been placed at the site of his death by the local Jaycees.

Finnish sniper Simo Hayha killed 542 Soviet soldiers in 100 days when the USSR was invading his country in 1939-1940.
He wore camouflage that let him blend in perfectly with the snow and was known by the enemy as “The White Death.”
The enemy tried to kill him numerous times with counter-sniper teams and artillery, and did manage to blow off half his face.
He lived, however, to the age of 96 dying in 2002.

Wild Bill Hickok shot Phil Coe in Abilene, Kansas on Oct. 5, 1871. Coe, the owner of the Bull’s Head Tavern, had painted a picture of a bull with a large erect penis on the side of his building as an advertisement. Townsfolk objected and demanded that Hickok, the town marshal, do something. So he painted it over infuriating Coe. This led to Coe plotting his demise. The plot was not successful.
