91 years ago today at the 11th hour the hostilities of the "Great War" came to an end. While the world would suffer greater conflict less than a generation later, at the time this was the war to end all wars. With close to 10million dead from both sides and a war torn Europe, the world had been plunged into a new reality of modernized and industrialized war making.
We need to all take a moment today to remember and thank the brave souls that gave the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War as well as all the subsequent veterans who answered the call to duty for country.
Merci
Thank you
Danke
