Remembrance Day – 11 November 1918 At 5:45 am on 11 November 1918, the Armistice agreement was signed between the Allied forces and Germany in Compiègne, France. The agreement officially came into effect at 11:00 am, bringing an end to the fighting on the Western Front during the First World War. This became known as “the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.” The Armistice marked the end of hostilities, although the formal peace treaty, the Treaty of Versailles, was not signed until June 1919. Today, we remember and honour all those who served, sacrificed and lost their lives in war. Lest we forget. #ArmisticeDay
