Remembrance
The First World War resulted in the deaths of about 10 million soldiers
across the world and millions more suffered as a result of injuries, illness
or famine.
Each November, we commemorate the lives of the military casualties of the
First World War by holding a two-minute silence on Remembrance Day,
also known as Armistice Day or Poppy Day.
The poppy became a symbol of remembrance after the First World War as
many poppies grew on the battlefields after the war had ended.
