Commemorate the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended the First World War with this framed pane of five Permanent™ domestic stamps.

An ideal gift for history enthusiasts or military buffs, this ready-to-hang framed collectible features a pane of five stamps. Each stamp depicts a white dove, a recognized symbol of peace, hovering over barbed wire strung across a battlefield. The background image is a photograph from the City of Toronto Archives of armistice celebrations on downtown streets. Only 450 are available.

After more than four years of bitter fighting, an armistice between Allies and Germany ended the war at “the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918.

Armistice Day was observed on a Monday in early November from 1919 until 1931, when a campaign led by the Canadian Legion resulted in a fixed date of November 11 and a new name: Remembrance Day. Every year since then, people have come together to observe two minutes of silence in honour of all the brave men and women who have served their country in times of war, military conflict and peace.
