11 November is arguably one of the most significant days on the Australian calendar. In 1918, the Armistice was signed – a document that signalled the end of hostilities in World War One.
In 1945, the Australian and British Governments changed the name of Armistice Day to Remembrance Day – a day when all soldiers killed or injured at war would be remembered. To coincide with the signing of the original Armistice document at 11:00am, one minute silence is observed every year “at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month”. This year, 2011, had special significance because Remembrance Day was celebrated on 11/11/11.
94.1FM 3WBC is proud to present "Australia Remembers 11/11/11" in tribute to the thousands of men and women who left the security of their homes and families to serve, suffer and in so many cases die, protecting our way of life.
