UK honors 8.8M military dead on WWI and WWII anniversary with silence, ceremony, and veteran march.
On Remembrance Sunday, November 9, 2025, the UK honored military sacrifices from World War I and other conflicts, marking the 80th anniversary of WWII’s end.
During the war, British soldiers facing extreme danger, especially in battles like the Somme, took grim precautions to ensure identification if killed.
With fragile ID tags often lost, many engraved their names or service numbers on metal spoons and placed them in boots or puttees.
This practical measure helped preserve identity amid battlefield destruction.
A national two-minute silence, a wreath-laying at the Cenotaph, and a march of nearly 10,000 veterans commemorated the more than 8.8 million military personnel who died in World War I, including 1.35 million British and Irish troops.
