Thinking about my ancestor. Same exact name, same hometown. Torpedoed on the SS Normandy, January 1918.

Will be heading out to the memorial in a bit.

oops,

11/11 is a memorial day for you guys?
For us it's the start of the 'carnaval' season (fun, music, beer, laughter etc).
So I apologize, I thought that this was the occasion the OP was referring too (hence my now strange looking reply).

End of WWI, been wondering about the date

Oberon · 11-11-12, 07:15 AM

Two more years and it'll be a century since it all began.

All of our WWI veterans have since passed on, are there any still left in other nations?

EDIT: A quick google search answers my question, it would seem that the answer is no, although there are no entries for four nations, so there might be survivors there but one would have thought they'd have come forth by now.

National Independence Day in Poland

You know back then in minoan times, on Crete ..

If we would remember each and every day something important or just wars happened or ended, 365 days a year would not be enough.
