REMEMBER WWI COMMEMORATION
The fighting in World War I ended on November 11, 1918. Over the course of the following two years, the Allied forces and Germany participated in peace treaties ultimately ending with the treaty of Versailles. That treaty came into effect in 1920. We will commemorate this historic event with the Remembering WWI event in Belgium, Luxembourg and France
