The great difficulty about the first Armistice Day on November 11, 1918, was to get the warriors in trench-stained khaki to believe it. There had been nothing to indicate to the men in the fighting line that so sudden an end of the war was coining, and all of them had grown very cynical about rumours. The divisional general called at the headquarters of one famous regiment, and drank a glass of port with unusual relish. The sergeant on duty called out the guard, hut the general said; “ Never mind, sergeant, the war’s over.” That was how that unit heard the big news. The abrupt cessation of gunfire on the Western Front was the first great silence, and it seemed like an uncanny revulsion in a law of Nature. At 11 a.m. on November 11, 1018, the Ist Division of the old B.E.P. was exactly where it stood to meet the first German attack in August, 1014.
