At 11 am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare.
The allied armies had driven the German invaders back, having inflicted heavy defeats upon them over the preceding four months.
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month attained a special significance in the post-war years, becoming universally associated with the remembrance of those who had died in the war.
Thanks to the Ringwood RSL for hosting a very fitting local Remembrance Day Service.
