Remembrance Day, Armistice Day, Veterans Day or Poppy Day?

It can be a bit confusing with the four different names but the explanation of the four names is simple enough. It is a day of honouring the war dead following the Armistice at the end of World War I. The day was initially called Armistice because the armistice was signed by the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne to end the hostilities "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month".  The naming of the day was changed from Armistice Day by many countries during the Second World War to Remembrance Day (in commonwealth countries) and to Veterans Day in the US.
