Reminiscences of Armistice Day Across the Empire
Readers recall eleven o'clock on November 11 1918 as Armistice news spread. Veterans and workers from Sunshine Deniliquin and beyond describe where they were in Constantinople to London when bells rang at 11. From hospital rooms to battle fronts, celebrations varied from quiet relief to raucous parades and rail yard canteens.
