THE HISTORY OF REMEMBRANCE DAY
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, World War I ended on the Western Front. This day, known as Remembrance Day, has become a moment of reflection for all who served and sacrificed for their country. Despite decades of continued conflicts since World War I, we maintain hope for peace.
RSL WA encourages all Australians on this day to take one minute to honour those who bravely served our nation. Originally called Armistice Day, it was renamed Remembrance Day by the Australian and British governments. Unlike ANZAC Day, it's not a public holiday, but services are held nationwide at 11 am.
RSL WA's official Remembrance Day service occurs annually at the State War Memorial in Kings Park on 11 November.

THE RED POPPY: A SYMBOL OF REMEMBRANCE
Since 1920, the red poppy has symbolised sacrifice and loss. Inspired by its growth on World War I battlefields, this flower serves as a reminder of the bravery and losses endured during times of conflict. On Remembrance Day, people wear the poppy as a tribute to the courage and resilience of our veterans, ensuring that their memory lives on.
