Why Armistice Day?

Armistice Day, 11th November, marks the end of World War One and is a significant day for remembering those who served. By choosing this date, the Prime Minister aims to draw public attention and political focus to the ongoing needs of veterans, linking their past service to the current commitment to prevent them from sleeping rough.
