Armistice day essay

Armistice Day They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; 
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 
At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.This is one of the poems that were written to remember those who died in World War one. On Armistice Day it is very sad but also a day for those who had family in the war to remember their loved ones. In New Zealand we have a moment of silence for two minutes to commemorate those who fought and died in World War 1 on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh year every year. Lloyd George of England, Orlando of Italy, Clemenceau of France and Woodrow Wilson from the US met to discuss how Germany was to be made to pay for the damage world war one had caused. Germany had to pay an additional 59 million pound. Armistice Day is important to New Zealand because we had 100,000 troops of our 1.1 million population back in 1914 and 16,700 New Zealand troops died and over 40,000 were injured. This is the 94thyear anniversary on the signing of the Armistice. The countries that fought in the First World War where Austria, Hungry, Belgium, Brazil, British Empire, Bulgaria, China, France, Colonies, German Empire, Greece, Italy, Japan, Liberia, Montenegro, Ottoman Empire, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Siberia, USA, New Zealand and Australia. World War 1 started on the 28th July 1914 because Franz Ferdinand of the Decane Austro-Hungarian was assassinated in Sarajevo on June 28th 1914 by a group of Siberian Nationalists. Later after Austro- Hungarian declared war on Siberia, then the Germans joined Siberia and declared war on Russia. In 1914 the prime minister of New Zealand was William Massey and during the war the general commanders were Alexander Gogley and Alfred William Robin. Armistice day started because of a man called Edward George Honey a Melbourne journalist send a published letter to the London evening news and was soon noticed by king George V and on November the 7th he proclaimed the there shall be two minutes of silence on the ll of November at ll O'clock. .”“All locomotion should cease, so that, in perfect stillness, the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated in reverent remembrance of the glorious dead The army allows soldiers to wear a small rose on their uniforms for Armistice Day similar to poppies on ANZAC Day. Wreath-laying ceremonies mark Armistice Day at the National War Memorial in Wellington and at many local War Memorials throughout New Zealand. There were many celebrations around New Zealand but there was a flu pandemic which put a hold to most of the celebration around New Zealand and Auckland called off all their celebrations to stop the spread of the flu but still 1128 Aucklanders died because of the flu. Also 500 people died in Southland. New Zealand had a high death to population ratio to any other country in the world from World War 1 On the day that the armistice was signed there was still 52123 troops still overseas. There were 24115 in France 23541 in England and 4451 in Egypt. After armistice day there was an average of 4500 soldiers returning to New Zealand every month until April 1919 and also 3000 wives and 600 children because soldiers married abroad. The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War 1 was 37 Million. 17 million deaths and 20 million walking wounded which made World War 1 one of the most deadly wars in human history. 2 Million died from disease and 6 million went missing presumed dead. The financial cost of the war was very and for New Zealand it was 378,750,000 US dollars. There was to the country because skilled trade’s people were lost and it took years to train new ones. Also the wounded had to be cared for and there was a great cost in cemeteries and war memorials which was on going for years. “All locomotion should cease, so that, in perfect stillness, the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated in reverent remembrance of the glorious dead”.

Tern 3 reflection

Something I am proud of is my Otago PS because I got 5/5 on some of my tests and some other good scores.

Something I still need to work  on is my handwriting because it is untidy and hard to read.

Reading goal is to check over my answers and hand my book in more often. I can achieve this by not rushing , reading  over my work and handing in my book in more.

Writing goal is to add more detail into the text and use more adjectives. I can achieve this by reading through my writing once I have finished.

Maths goal is to read the question properly and not rush. I can achieve this by slowing down and reading through my work.

Camp

On the 4 of September to the 6 we had camp. It was at Tautuku we got to go kayaking which was my favourite activity because we got to see so adults fall in which was funny. Then my next favourite activity was the flying fox. My favourite memory was doing the talent quest with Damen we put a Jersey on and he was in the back of it with arms through the selves.
