At the Going Down of the Sun

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918, an armistice was signed which ended the "war to end all wars". Around (estimates vary) 20 million people died during World War One. A further 60 million would go on to die in World War Two.
Today is a day for remembrance, not celebration or glorification (or sales - only in America). 

"War does not determine who is right - only who is left."  Bertrand Russell
