11 November 1919: The First Armistice Day—At 11:00 A.M. G.M.T., a two-minute silence in honor of the glorious dead & the missing was observed on the grounds of Buckingham Palace, & at 11:00 A.M. local time throughout the British Empire; parades & other solemn observances were held throughout the victorious Entente countries & their empires, not in the defeated, shattered Central Powers.
Lest we forget.
