Armistice 100 - an End to War?
After four terrible years, the First World War finally came to a close with the signing of an armistice between Germany and the Allied Powers on 11 November 1918. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns famously fell silent.
One hundred years on, commemorations across the globe will recognise the service and sacrifice of those involved in the conflict; 158 nations, forty million military and civilian casualties and hundreds of billions of dollars for military, medical and rebuild costs.
To commemorate this prominent date in history, Nelson City Council alongside other organisations and groups, has organised a line up of events that you’ll want to see.
