The Last Post but the war is over and all your friends are gone

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them - Excerpt from “For the Fallen“ by Robert Laurence Binyon The Armistice of 11 November 1918 was signed at Le Francport near Compiègne that ended fighting on land, sea and air in World War I between the Allies and their last remaining opponent, Germany. It was officially signed at 5:45am and came into force at 11:00am, Paris time on 11 November 1918 marking a victory for the Allies. After the war, there was a deep shame that so many soldiers died on the final day of the war, especially in the hours after the treaty had been signed but had not yet taken effect. -
