November 11th 2008 marks the ninetieth anniversary of the Armistice, the official end of the First World War, or 'the war to end all wars'. The war fought between the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and allies) on one side and the Triple Entente (Britain and the British Empire, France and Russia) and their allies on the other side.
