REMEMBRANCE Day on November 11 each year is a time to reflect on the actions of men and women who fought to make our country what it is today.
At the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month, Australians commemorate those who have lost their lives on the battlefield, particularly from World War I onwards.
It was at 11am on November 11, 1918 that the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of warfare.
Red poppies were adopted as an emblem of remembrance to honour and keep alive the memory of those who had died and as a bond between soldiers of Allied nations.
