Armistice Day 2018 on CRN

It’s Australia and NZ’s annual day to remember the sacrifice of those who have died for Australia in wars and conflicts.

11 November 2018 marks 100 years since the original armistice, when the guns fell silent on the Western Front in France and Belgium, bringing an end to the four years of hostility known as World War I.

This year stations have access to two special commemorative broadcasts marking this significant event, thanks to Launceston’s City Park Radio.

Centenary of Armistice Remembrance Concert
