Labuan Remembrance Day - "Lest We Forget" ( 11 November 2023 )

 

Remembrance Day or "Poppy Day" is observed on the 11^th Hour of the 11^th Day of November each year in some Commonwealth countries.  Originated from the First World War (1914-1918), the auspicious day is to commemorate the Allied Servicemen, who gave their lives during the war. 

Red Poppies are worn during that day, which denotes the Poppies of the Flanders in France.  The central element of Remembrance Day ceremonies is the minute's silence.  Remembrance Day in Borneo will be observed in Labuan World War II Memorial grounds.
