Here is a very interesting poster, it declares the war is over, and a gathering giving Thanks is Ordered.
However on a closer look you can see that the date of printing is Nov 9th.
How did a small town in Ontario Canada know the War would end on the 11th??
They didn't, after doing some research, I found that the Kaiser stepped down on the 9th, so the Mayor relized that the War WOULD end and called for this Giving of Thanks on the 11th. Just a fluke he picked Nov 11th, and he was only off by 2 hours Ontario time as they are 5 hours behind..or perhaps not with the 2X day light savings time used during the War.
