Take a moment on Remembrance Day…………
Canadian Women's Army Corps, World War 2. CWAC warming themselves by an outdoor fire.
In Britain, Canada, Australia, and France the day is observed in honour of the veterans of World Wars I and II. In Britain the second Sunday of November is observed asRemembrance Sunday, and in Canada November 11 is observed as Remembrance Day. In Britain and the Commonwealth countries and in countries of Europe, it is common to observe two minutes of silence at 11:00 AM on November 11, the time and date of the World War I armistice in 1918. Poppies have long been associated with World War I memorials through the poem “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae, and in several countries paper poppies are sold to raise money for the support of veterans and are worn in the lapel as a sign of remembrance.
