As we celebrate veterans day and the 100th anniversary of the WW1 armistice, few of the people that take time to actually reflect on what it is about beyond a three day weekend know that there was a six hour delay between the signing of the treaty and the actual end of the war.
In those six hours the top brass ordered the troops out of the trenches for a frontal assault into no man's land killing more men than was killed in the Normandy assault of WW2.
