Today is the 90th Armistice Day anniversary, marking the symbolic end to the First World War on 11 November 1918.

On that day, the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the guns on the Western Front, which had rained death for four long years, fell silent.

The number of World War I casualties, both military and civilian, was over 40 million - 20 million deaths and 21 million wounded. This included 9.7 million military deaths and about 10 million civilian deaths. The Entente Powers (also known as the Allies) lost more than 5 million soldiers and the Central Powers about 4 million.

Britain lost 885,138 military dead, 109,000 civilian dead, and 1,663,435 military wounded. Commonwealth nations who sent troops included Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa and Rhodesia.

The United States of America, France, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Japan and Serbia also fought on the Allied side.

Armistice Day is not, however, about seeking revenge for the terrible tragedy that was World War One. It is about remembering those who sacrificed all for their nations, and, ultimately, the day is about ensuring that this evil never again befalls Europe.

On this day, we send out a message of remembrance, of hope and of peace to all nations. May we never forget the sacrifice of all her sons and daughters, and may the Unknown Soldiers of all nations, find peace in that fact.
