Title: 100th Anniversary of Armistice Day
Post by: Perd Hapley on November 12, 2018, 10:07:45 AM

Has anyone heard any mention of this? The Great War ended 100 years ago, yesterday. I didn't even think about it, until half-way through the day.

11th November is also the anniversary of the Mayflower Compact, with the 400th anniversary coming up in 2020.

Yes.  I talked to my daughters about it just before 11am, although I cheated and used our local time zone.

Sadly, I usually attend some ceremony somewhere, but my heart just wasn't into it this year.  Changing my profile pic and liking all those I served with profile pics was about the extent of my participation.

And I did post Kenneth Brannaugh's St Crispin's Day speech from Henry V.
