Remembrance Day / Armistice Day

Until: 10 November 2024 at 12:00 PM

Location: Turbi Hills Shell Hole at 66 Burger Street.

Details:

On Sunday, 10 November, the South African National Defence Force, military veterans and civilians will spend two minutes remembering those who had made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country as part of Armistice Day, also called Remembrance Day.
At 05:00 on Monday, 11 November 1918, a document was signed that brought an end to the First World War. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of that year, the guns fell silent. The war that was supposed to end all wars had come to an end, but not before an estimated nine million people had lost their lives.
To pay homage those who died in the war and subsequent wars, Remembrance Day is commemorated annually. The Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) of Louis Trichardt will be holding their annual Remembrance Day parade and wreath-laying ceremony on 10 November at 10:30 for 11:00 at their Turbi Hills Shell Hole at 66 Burger Street. All members of the public are welcome to attend.
