November 11, 1918 marks the day World War I was halted.

A century later, it is no longer observed as Armistice Day but Remembrance Day.

To commemorate this double celebration, the Lord Allenby Shellhole of Estcourt hosted a remembrance service.

To complete the remembrance service, the South African as well as the MOTHS flags were lowered then raised again. Beautiful wreaths were laid at Mount Memory after which a specially prepared lunch was enjoyed by all.
