We, in Australia, have just passed the 11th day, of the 11th month, of the 11th hour, which in the British Commonwealth Countries (present and former) is called Remembrance Day. This day commemorates the end of World War One with the remembrance of all those that fought and died in the line of duty. It is customary to wear a red poppy on this day, which symbolizes the red poppies that grew on many of the worst battlefields in France, Flanders being an example.
In the United States, this day is known as Veterans Day.
2018 marks 100 years since World War One ended. An estimated 37 million people died (both military and civilian), yet conflict and wars have continued around the world in the last 100 years.
Let us remember the sacrifices made by those people and hope that one day, the human race might learn from its mistakes.
