hi bonnie

i think the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month
was originally recognised by the countries involved in World War One
as a time of commemoration for those
who fought and were lost in it

i could be wrong though

my father was in WW2 with the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals
he would never talk about the war itself
but he had fond memories of holland
and being treated like royalty
there when the war ended
