Defence joins all Australians on Remembrance Day to honour, acknowledge and remember the courage, sacrifice and service of those who have served our country and those who gave their lives in service to our nation.
At the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, we reflect on the end of the First World War and honour the generations of Australian service personnel who have since served in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
The year 2026 marks the 108th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice between Allied forces and Germany, which ended the First World War (1914-18). On 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. More Australians were killed and wounded in the First World War than in all subsequent conflicts combined.
As a mark of respect, Australians are encouraged to pause at 11am for one minute’s silence and remember all those who died or suffered for Australia in all wars and armed conflicts.
Today we remember their courage, service and sacrifice.
Lest we forget.
