Remembrance Day

remembrance day

On 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. With their armies retreating and close to collapse, German leaders signed an Armistice, bringing to an end the First World War.

In the four years of the war more than 330,000 Australians had served overseas, and more than 60,000 Australians had died.

11:00 am signals the start of a minute of silence, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.
