Vanessa SchmittWeekend Kwinana Courier

REMEMBRANCE Day will be commemorated at the Kwinana War Memorial on Saturday, November 11 at 11am.

Remembrance Day evolved from the WWI Armistice that occurred at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th Month in 1918, which ended hostilities on the Western Front between Germany and the Allied nations and effectively led to ending WWI.

Kwinana RSL sub-branch secretary Terry Rusden said on Remembrance Day 2017 members would remember all those who have served in all conflicts and especially remember those who lost their lives in those conflicts.
