Thanks for sharing this, Heather — Though it’s not a surprise, I’d never done any research to learn when other countries honored veterans. I’m sure they’re remembered everywhere, because so many souls have been lost to war. Appreciate the education.

You’r right Fida, in the brochure many of the trips are described as pilgrimages and my husband told me that there was a very special atmosphere among the group. especially created by the presence of those who actually fought there

Thank you Heather for that educational text.
Remembrance day is a highly celebrated day in Canada. My neighbor and friend who was a pilot in world war II (he’s 85 now) did a Poppy tour last year and was very happy with it, exactly because of it’s Pilgrimage appeal you write about.
