Remembrance Day - November 11
In Australia the 11th of November is a day to remember those who died in war. The 11th of November 1918, saw the end of WW1. Australians observe one minute's silence at 11.00 am on Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day, was originally called Armistice Day. After the end of WW2 in 1945, the Australian and British governments changed the name to Remembrance Day as an appropriate title for a day which would commemorate all war dead.
In 1993, to mark the 75th anniversary of the 1918 armistice, the Australian Government exhumed the remains of an unknown Australian soldier from the Western Front for entombment at the Australian War Memorial's Hall of Memory, Canberra. In 30 years from 1915, 100,000 Australians died in war service. Many of those died in action. Many also died through sickness and accidents. Many Australians came home with severe war injuries and died not long after, or had a greatly shortened life.
Over 500 Australians died in the Vietnam War, and since WW2, Australians have also seen action in places like Korea, Indonesia, Malaya, Afghanistan and Iraq.
