At 5am on 11 November 1918, on a train outside Paris, the armistice to end World War I was signed. It marked the end of a conflict that left 200,000 Australians dead, injured or maimed, and a generation in shell shock. Ninety years later, the National Archives is commemorating the Armistice and the impact of World War I on Australian society.

This project was undertaken by the National Archives with the assistance of the Department of Veterans' Affairs.
