An interesting presentation by two of the best in Australia 🇦🇺 cheers Matt and Doctor Karl! Working with many British servicemen in my day job, I note the difference they feel for Anzac Day and Remembrance Day. They do enjoy having two days to commemorate down our way, they say 😃👍
What a lot of Aussies don't realise after WWI, was that it took over 12 months for many to return home. For those in the concentration camps (note it had a different meaning to WWII and were supply camps) the men had access to a training syllabus with bookkeeping, French, lectures on historical subjects. It took over three years for the children of German parents but born in other countries, to walk across Eurorpe on their own to get back to Germany. It took two years after the Balkan war for families to return to outside Dubrovnik due to land mines. We need to remember all people impacted by war.
I hope Remembrance Day never ends. The world needs to be reminded that their young men and nations can be destroyed by terrible decisions by a small group of politicians who are rarely held to account.
Thanks for the comment. Nov 11 and Remembrance Sunday (the Sunday nearest to Nov 11) are both tied to the same anniversary. I think Karl's comment was simply that we have two separate commemorative days, one in April and one in November.

Cheers mate. 👍🏼
Absolutely. Its a much needed and sombre reminder of the folly of what extremism (on all sides) and a polarised society can lead into.

Yes, because for countries that were overrun and occupied by the Germans the day is especially important
not correct in the UK we have two days 11th November and Remembrance Sunday

Matt you are a good looking man you dont need the beard it ruins your handsome face
Someone's self-conscious
Haha, thanks! But trust me, I've had this beard for 25 years, and no-one wants to see this face without it...
Stupid question seriously
I suspect you haven’t watched the video…
