Australian High Commission observes Remembrance Day, honours war heroes

The Australian High Commission in Bangladesh observed Remembrance Day on Wednesday, 11 November, paying tribute to those who served and sacrificed their lives in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.

In a Facebook post marking the occasion, the High Commission said Australia paused to honour all those who had served and made sacrifices in the cause of peace.

“At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we remember their courage, service and sacrifice,” the post said.

The message ended with the traditional Remembrance Day expression, “Lest We Forget”.
