11 November - Veterans/Remembrance Day

Precisely at 11 am on 11/11/1918, World War 1 "the War to End All Wars" came to an end.  Well, if it had not been for the Versailles Treaty of the following year, there may not have been World War 2 at least.

WW1 had the highest number of NZ armed services casualties, both dead and injured.

The drawing shows the number of American services fatalities in different conflicts of the last 100 years.
