Australians will gather at commemoration services around the nation to honour the thousands who died in military conflicts over the past 106 years. Remembrance Day commemorates the deaths of the millions of Allied service personnel killed in the Great War in Europe, where more than 60,000 Australians died.
Deception Bay President Steve Hilton reflects on the meaning of Remembrance Day. Also known as Armistice Day, marking the signing of the peace agreement that ended World War I, Remembrance Day in Australia also honours those who lost their lives in later conflicts. “On this day 106 years ago, the guns fell silent on the Western Front,” Defence Minister Richard Marles and Veteran’s Affairs Minister Matt Keogh said in a joint statement on Monday.
