Isn't that a British thing? Forgive me for possibly getting it wrong.

It is indeed, but doesn't mean all of humanity can not learn from it.

If nothing else, the movie should have been enough for people to remember the date. "Remember remember the 5th of November". Guy Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament, wasn't it?

Yessir, reason why I knew it before the movie is because my birthday is the Eve of Guy Fawkes day

11th hour, 11th day, 11th month 1918. That is when they stop fighting. Right up to the last second. Approx. 150 solders dies in the last min. before all stop shooting at each other. Guess a few generals want that medal.
