In the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month of 1918, a temporary cessation of hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany is reached, bringing an end to the fighting of World War I. Even though the official finish of “the war to end all wars” is recognized a full seven months after this armistice -when the Treaty of Versailles is signed in France on June 28, 1919- November 11 remains steadfast in the hearts of men as the end of The Great War.
