Man is a microcosm, or a little world, because he is an extract from all the stars & planets of the whole firmament, from the Earth & the elements;& so he is their quintessence
Though free to think & act, we are held together,like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable

@Grampa1950 Good question. Family pics I never delete. Find it very hard to delete nature pics. Most up in the cloud 😊 the rest in folders in computer. Very organised albums stored. 😅 Problem is I hardly use my computer. Mostly phone now.

11 November 1918. 10:59 AM. American soldier, Henry Gunther, is credited as being the last Allied soldier killed in the First World War. Eye witnesses claimed the 23-year-old foolishly charged at German machine gunners with a fixed bayonet.

Lest We Forget 📯

[Prof. Frank McDonough @FXMC1957]

11 November 1918. Fighting in the “Great War of 1914-18” ended at 11:00 AM Paris time: the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month. At the time, it was the deadliest military conflict in history with an estimated 9 million military deaths and 13 million civilian deaths.

[Prof. Frank McDonough @FXMC1957]

11 November 1919. Britain introduced a 2 minute silence at 11:00 AM to remember those who died in the First World War. The silence coincides with the time in 1918 at which the conflict came to an end in Europe with the cessation of hostilities.

[Prof. Frank McDonough @FXMC1957]

11 November 1921. 1st British Legion Poppy Day was held. It was inspired by the poem In Flanders’ Fields written by John McCrae. Since then the Poppy Appeal has been a key annual event in the nation’s calendar.

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we remember.

More than a century after the Armistice ended the fighting of the First World War, we pause to honour all Australians who have served and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Lest we forget.
