Rememberance Day

November 11th is the day to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty, and those who have come before us. It commemorates the end of First World War hostilities. Hostilities formally ended “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” of 1918. The signing of the Treaty of Versailles was the official end of WWII, in late June, 1919.
