118. End of the First World War & Remembrance

Über diese Folge

On the anniversary of the day the guns fell silent on the Western Front, we look at the last moments of the First World War – and how we remember them. How did Remembrance Day start? What are the stories behind the Cenotaph and the Unknown Warrior? Why do we wear poppies? And will we always remember the fallen - or is it time to forget? *The Rest Is History Live Tour 2023*: Tom and Dominic are back on tour this autumn!
