I know this sort of thing happens all the time, but it still sucks.

I only just heard of this story, yes. I'm intimately aware that this sort of thing happens regularly.
Still, it sucked to be him...

It probably sucked more for those who were killed
after 1100. I don't know for certain of any, but there was at least one British artillery unit that kept firing until 1300 before news of the armistice reached them.

Battle of Toulouse for that matter - far bloodier than New Orleans and just as pointless.
