Remembrance Day is one of the most significant days on our commemorative calendar, a solemn occasion to honour those who have died or suffered while serving in wars, conflicts, and peace operations. Held annually on November 11, Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the 1918 Armistice that ended the fighting of World War I, though the war officially concluded with the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919. Across Australia and many other nations, people observe a minute’s silence at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, symbolising the moment the Armistice took effect. This pause in time serves as a tribute to the brave men and women who gave their lives or endured hardship in service to Australia.
