On 11 November, we commemorate Remembrance Day. This date is the anniversary of the Armistice's signing as the first step to end fighting with Germany in World War I. We commemorate all who have died or suffered in wars, conflicts and peace operations.
We've posted a pack of resources to schools, ex-service organisations and other associations across Australia. Those resources are available to everyone in digital format too. Please display the posters this Remembrance Day, and explore our other content.
Commemorative posters
We've created 2 new posters this Remembrance Day.
Our Remembrance Day poster commemorates all who have died or suffered during wars, conflicts and peace operations.
Our second poster commemorates the contribution of Australians conscripted into the national service schemes from 1951 to 1972.
