Remembrance Day

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the guns on the Western Front in Europe fell silent as the Armistice commenced and the First World War ended. Between 9 million and 13 million people had died with around a third of them with no known grave.

In 1919, one year after the Armistice, the Allies designated this day in November for the commemoration of those lost. 

Lest we forget.
