At 5:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918 French Army clerk Henri Deledicq finished typing the peace treaty that would end World War I. He had put the carbon paper in backwards.
Ten minutes later, in a railroad car in France, military leaders signed copies of an armistice that were completely unreadable. World War I ended on this date. –
It’s Veterans Day in the United States and Armistice Day for many in Europe –
(and it’s Singles Day in China, 11/11– it’s considered China’s Anti-Valentine’s Day, but we’re not going to discuss that now.)
