"the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" has been embedded in European History since November 11, 1918 - the date on which the 'Armistice Treaty' with Germany was signed - marking the end of the Great War that had flared up just over 4 years earlier ... following the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand at Sarajevo.
And so began a ritual that has remained an integral part of the British Heritage for the past 93 years ... when
we, as a nation, commemmorate the dead of two World Wars ... and the lives lost in many other, more recent, conflicts.
