Throughout Australia and across the world people paused at 11 o’clock on the 11 November to remember the sacrifices and services of those who gave so much for our freedom and way of life today.

The media acknowledged the 90^th Anniversary of the signing of the Armistice, which signalled the end of hostiles in the First World War, with a series of tributes.

The Families and Friends of the First AIF thanks the Australian, UK and French governments for affording Australian and British soldiers – presently buried in mass graves at Pheasant Wood – dignified individual reburials in a new CWGC cemetery at Fromelles, and urge those responsible to ensure all necessary scientific and other means are employed to properly identify each soldier.
