Remembrance Day
11 November 2021 marks the 103rd Anniversary of the Armistice which ended the First World War (1914–18).
One hundred and three years ago, on 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. The Australian Corps had been at the forefront of the allied advance to victory. The victory had come at a heavy cost. In the four years of the war more than 330,000 Australians had served overseas, and more than 60,000 of them had died. The social effects of these losses cast a long shadow over the postwar decades. (World war one is considered the most deadly war in human history: The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I, was around 40 million. There were 20 million deaths and 21 million wounded. The total number of deaths includes 9.7 million military personnel and about 10 million civilians**)
Each year on this day Australians observe one minute's silence at 11 am, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.
We pause to listen to the recitation of "the Ode," then "The Last Post," followed by one minute's silence and concluded by the Rouse.
{They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them}.
(people respond). We will remember them.
