We commemorate Remembrance Day on 11 November. The date is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice of 1918 that ended fighting in World War I. On this day, we commemorate all those who have died or suffered in wars, conflicts and humanitarian and peace operations.
To help Australians commemorate Remembrance Day, we posted packs of materials to schools, ex-service organisations and other associations across Australia. Digital versions of these packs are available free to everyone.
