Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day is a public holiday in Australia that is held on 11 November each year. It is a day to remember all Australians who have served in wars, and to honour those who have died in service to their country. The day was originally known as Armistice Day, which commemorated the signing of the Armistice of 11 November 1918, which ended the First World War. In 1939, the day was renamed Remembrance Day to include all Australians who had died in wars and conflicts.
