Azuh Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Remembrance Day is the day Australians remember those who have died in war. In 1918 the armistice that ended World War I came into force, bringing to an end four years of hostilities that saw 61 919 Australians die at sea, in the air, and on foreign soil. Few Australian families were left untouched by the events of World War I - 'the war to end all wars' most had lost a father, son, daughter, brother, sister or friend. At 11am on 11 November we pause to remember the sacrifice of those men and women who have died or suffered in wars and conflicts and all those who have served during the past 100 years. The central element of Remembrance Day ceremonies is the one minute silence at the 11th hour. A lot of other countries also have Remembrance Days... these countries are (these might be on different days:Argentina Hungary Papua New GuineaAustriaIndonesia PolandBangladesh Italy Republic of KoreaBurma Japan SerbiaCarribean Kenya SpainCanada Malaysia SwedenChina Mauritius SwitzerlandEgypt Mexico TaiwanFrance New Caledonia The NetherlandsFrench Polynesia New Zealand TongaGermany United KingdomGreece Vanuatu In Australia, we reply with "Lest we Forget" as a sign as we will never forget the soldiers who died for us at war... so Lest We Forget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
