Remembrance Day

 

At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, Australians are urged to be silent for one minute.  The silence echoes a moment in time when the guns of Europe’s Western Front fell silent in 1918, after four years of fighting in the First World War.

Now, 95 years on, after another world war and numerous other wars and conflicts, Remembrance Day still stands out as a day when Australians from diverse cultural backgrounds pause to remember those who have died in war.
