At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns of
the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare.
In 1997, Governor-General Sir William Deane
issued a proclamation formally declaring 11 November to be Remembrance Day,
urging all Australians to observe one minute's silence at 11 am on 11 November
each year to remember those who died or suffered for Australia's cause in all
wars and armed conflicts
