11th hour, 11th day, 11th month. ended the "War to end all Wars"

I still remember some 60 odd years ago, we use to stand in the school hall for the "Two minutes of Silence." We stood in front of the dusty wooden paneling with all the names of the "boys" from our school who were killed in that mess, painted on it in gold leaf.
I used to think, "That's not right. There are far too many."

Don't know about you guys but I'm certainly glad the "War to end all Wars" worked....
