In the Ewarts School (CEZ Mission) Madras, Remembrance Day was observed on 11 November as in most Commonwealth countries. This was done to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month”
I recall we we were given red Poppy flowers to remember that day. Of course it ceased
after the British went away, bag and baggage.
