🇬🇧🇫🇷 Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé pourquoi le Royaume-Uni commémore la fin de la guerre le 11 novembre 1918, alors que la France la célèbre le 28 juin 1919 ?
Walk through Oxford on a November morning, and you’ll notice the city pause at 11 a.m. The bells toll, for two minutes, time itself seems to hold its breath. It’s a commemoration of Armistice Day, the moment on 11 November 1918 when the guns finally fell silent after four years of unimaginable loss.
In Oxford, memorials in every college chapel remind us how deeply the war touched this city. The University Parks once hosted soldiers in training, and the names carved into stone across Oxfordshire echo those of the fallen across Europe.
