Armistice 1918
At 11.00 hours on Monday, 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent across the battlefields of Europe. After the deadliest conflict the world had ever seen, peace had finally arrived.
Since the withdrawal from the Somme and the repulse at Verdun, the Germans knew they could not win the war and had sought a negotiated end to the fighting. This was rejected by the Allies and the fighting continued until, almost two years later, with its economy on the verge of collapse, Germany had no choice but to accept defeat and seek terms – any terms – for an armistice.
This eagerly awaited 116-page special features a graphic account of what really happened on the Western Front 100 years ago in the last few months of 1918. .
Armistice - A Century of Commemoration
This November sees the 100th Anniversary of the end to one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history. Millions of lives were lost across the globe, new borders were carved out and the resulting consequences would change the face of the world forever.
From the start of the conflict, The Daily Mirror covered the war across all of the key battlegrounds which has resulted in amassing a huge collection of photographs that document the daily life of the ordinary soldier as well the horrors that faced both sides.
In this 156-page special magazine, we take a look at the war from the outbreak and the early battles to that fateful day in November when the guns fell silent. Also included is a look at how the Armistice agreement unfolded plus personal stories of soldiers on the front line, all illustrated with rare images taken by Daily Mirror photographers. We also take a look at the recent events that have looked to commemorate anniversaries of some the most notable battles, as well as looking at how a nation has remembered.
