The Great War ended on November 11, 1918. Armistice Day was observed the next year. In the United Kingdom and Commonwealth nations, Armistice Day is now Remembrance Day. In the United States, Armistice Day is now Veterans Day.
In 1925 Armistice Day fell on a Wednesday. At the end of an observance on the Central Park Mall, a bugler played the first notes of “Taps.”
