  The events leading up to Armistice Day, 11th November 1918 and the legacy in the months that followed are much discussed but the day itself remains overlooked. Delving into the throughts, desires and expectations of men and women on the streets, the Western Front, and the famous politicians and writers. We start before 11am while still at war, progress to afternoon as news spread, to the evening celebrations and the mixed feelings it aroused, fraught with the effects of events past and the anticipation of things to come. Armistice Day reveals itself as a singular moment in history, with much more to offer than its symbolic hour.
