Remembrance Day was first observed in 1919 throughout the British Commonwealth. It was originally called “Armistice Day” to commemorate armistice agreement that ended the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m. on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
To remember the fallen hasn't stopped the world to build more and more memorials. Its real a pity .

ReplyDeleteSuch a sad day.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what it's called, it's important that we take the opportunity to remember those who served.

May we always remember.
ReplyDeleteQuite a good memorial. It reminds me of one here.
