At 11 o’clock on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the armistice was signed ending World War I, a four-year conflict that had left 10 million persons dead, 21 million wounded, and 7.7 million missing or imprisoned. It was this date and time that inspired the institution of Armistice Day in 1921, a day of remembrance in honour of war veterans and victims that later came to be known as Veterans Day in many countries.
