Armistice Day!

Kia Ora Everyone,

The 11th of November is 'Armistice Day'. For those who don't know what Armistice day is, Armistice Day marks the anniversary of the agreement that ended the First World War (1914 – 1918) and the sacrifice of those who died serving New Zealand. At exactly 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, Armistice Day, one-minute's silence is held and France stops and people pray and pay respect to those who fought and died for the freedom the country now has. Lest we forget and may the people Rest in love and peace.
