FDC The 100th Anniversary Of The WWI Armistice from Saint Pierre and Miquelon

The Armistice of 11 November 1918 was the armistice that ended fighting on land, sea and air in World War I between the Allies and their opponent, Germany. Previous armistices had been agreed with Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Also known as the Armistice of Compiègne from the place where it was signed at 5:45 a.m. by the French Marshal Foch, it came into force at 11:00 a.m. Paris time on 11 November 1918 and marked a victory for the Allies and a defeat for Germany, although not formally a surrender.

French Post issued this stamp for Saint Pierre and Miquelon on 11.11.2018, exactly 100 years later,  to mark this important historical event.


Thank you so much Eric!
