The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month is universally associated with the remembrance of those who died in the First World War.

The date marks the moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front in 1918, with the signing of the Armistice.

From October to March 2009, the return of soldiers to New Zealand is commemorated in a series of events, talks, movie showings, exhibitions and recitals throughout the country.

Digital New Zealand is working with National Digital Forum partner organisations and other content providers to make available unique pictures, sound, text and moving images in commemoration of Coming Home: the 90th Anniversary of the end of World War I.
