Inevitably this time of year is the saddest occassion for people whose loved ones died in WWI. Regardless of age, ethnicity and relationship with the soldiers who died 90 years ago in the trenches, people across the world will gather to pay their respects, to those who braved the treacherous conditions.
Rememberance day, other wise known as poppy day, is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war today. Behind the trauma, after the war ended, the League of Nations was created as an international organisation to avoid future wars occurring. Societies across the world breathed a sign of relief, that future differences can be solved in a diplomatic way. Obviously, WWII rejected this notion.
Above all, we must remember that 'our soldiers' endured extreme conditions for the sake of peace. A staggering 60 million people died within the 4 years of battle. Tomorrow at 11 am across the country a 2 minute silence will be held to remember the ones who helped us. Wear your poppy with pride!
