FredPuli Diamond Enthusiast 2005 Enthusiast of the Year	Posted We have been wearing poppies for some weeks here in Britain, in anticipation of the anniversary of Armistice Day , November 11th, 1918. Why then do some local war memorials bear the dates 1914 - 1919 ?

Mozart Diamond Enthusiast 2009 Enthusiast of the Year	Posted Hide Post Following the Armistice of November 1918, a "Cenotaph" ( empty tomb in Greek) is unveiled in London" in july of 1919. There was a parade on the first Peace Day Celebration. It would become a permanent monument to salute the fallen and commemorate the Allied victory.
