Remembrance Sunday

Remembrance Sunday commemorates those Australian and Commonwealth armed forces members killed in all wars and conflicts worldwide. It is held adjacent to Remembrance Day, originally known as Armistice Day after the end of the First World War. It was renamed Remembrance Day after World War Two to commemorate those who were killed in both World Wars. At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The Germans called for an armistice (suspension of fighting) in order to secure a peace settlement. They accepted the allied terms of unconditional surrender. The conflict had mobilised over 70 million people, left between 9 and 13 million dead, and as many as one third of these with no grave.

Medals may be worn at our 10am service.
