Why do we pause at 11 am on 11 November?

At 11 am on 11 November 1918, after more than four years of fighting, the guns on the Western Front fell silent. More than 70 million people had been mobilised for the First World War. Between 9 and 13 million died, and as many as a third have no known grave.

The allied nations chose that day and that hour to remember the people they had lost. From the first anniversary in 1919, the silence of the Western Front was recalled at the eleventh hour in ceremonies across many allied nations, and it has been kept every year since.

On Wednesday 11 November, when 11 am arrives where you are, pause for one minute's silence for all those who died or suffered while serving in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

Why do you pause at 11 am? Tell us in the comments. 💬

"I think it's important to honour those that sacrificed their life in service of their country and embrace the families that were left behind."

For Tegan Tippett, the weight of service and sacrifice began at just 22 years old when she enlisted in the Army to support her children and serve her country. Her first deployment to Afghanistan with the 10th Force Support Battalion as a Sergeant would shape her life forever.

Tegan reflects on the profound responsibility of repatriating soldiers killed in action.

"It was a privilege, but it was gut-wrenching. Knowing what they did for their country helped me do my part. You can't just go to pieces. It's your duty to deliver them safely on their last journey home."

While her service carries the lasting weight of loss, it is also filled with moments of immense pride.

As we recognise the 25th anniversary of ADF deployment to Afghanistan, read Tegan's story and the tribute she penned in 2025 to those who served beside her: https://rslqld.social/478zgW5
