Remembrance Day- Veteran fire safety
Remembrance Day (also known as Armistice Day) is commemorated in many countries around the world on the 11th of November. In the UK, the second Sunday of November (i.e. the Sunday closest to the 11th) is also observed as Remembrance Sunday.
The first Remembrance Day, then known as Armistice Day, was held on the 11th of November 1919. This date was chosen as the Great War (which later came to be known as World War 1) ended on the 11th of November 1918.
The day originated as a way of honouring the dead of the First World War, but over the century since it was first observed, the significance of the day has become broader. It is now an act of remembrance for those who have died in all wars.
Here at Veteran Fire safety we remember them.
