Remembrance Day ~ Australia
Today is Remembrance Day
(Poppy Day) in Australia.
Originally called “Armistice Day”, today commemorates the end of hostilities for the Great War (WWI), the “war to end all wars”. Armistice Day is observed by the Allies as a way of remembering those who died, especially soldiers with 'no known grave’.
The signing of the armistice occurred on 11 November 1918, on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
