4th+term+Remembrance+Day

http://www.abc.net.au/btn/story/s3057525.htm

The day was specifically dedicated by [|King George V] on 7 November 1919 as a day of remembrance of members of the armed forces who were killed during World War I. This was possibly done upon the suggestion of [|Edward George Honey] to [|Wellesley Tudor Pole], who established two ceremonial periods of remembrance based on events in 1917. [|[1]] The red [|remembrance poppy] has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem " [|In Flanders Fields] ". These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of [|Flanders] in World War I, their brilliant red colour an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war.

 * Remembrance Day** (also known as **Poppy Day**, ** [|Armistice Day] ** or ** [|Veterans Day] **) is a [|memorial] day observed in [|Commonwealth] countries to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty since [|World War I] . This day, or alternative dates, are also recognized as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of World War I on that date in 1918; hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the [|Armistice] ("at the 11th hour" refers to the //passing// of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.)
