Remembrance Day is a day when we acknowledge those who died or suffered while serving in wars, conflicts and peace operations. 

People in Australia and many other countries observe one minute's silence at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month because that's when the Armistice of 1918 came into effect. It's a time to honour all personnel who died or suffered in the service of Australia.
