28 Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, November 3, 2016 | COMMUNITY When and other fall decor Remembrance Day:What it means to us Tim Kelly tkelly@yrmg.com 1 2 3 4 5 Remembrance Day was formally inaugurated by King George V in 1919 to recall the end of hostilities on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, in accordance with armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente (United Kingdom, France, Russia) between 5:12 and 5:20 a.m. Remembrance Day is officially the memorial and remembrance for members of Commonwealth of Nations States war dead since the First World War. The red remembrance poppy is a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem, "In Flanders Fields," written by Canadian physician Lieut.-Col. John McCrae. Poppies were worn for the first time at the 1921 anniversary ceremony and have been worn ever since. At the 11 a.m. Nov. 11 ceremony, which typically takes place at a town cenotaph or church, the "Last Post" is typically played and a two-minute silence takes place to honour the memory of the war dead.
