Description: | Photocopies of four telegrams regarding the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front at 11.00am on 11 November 1918. The first is British, ordering the cessation of Allied hostilities at 11.00am; the second a transcript and translation of a German signal ordering the cessation of German hostilities at 11.55am (German time); the third is from the Second German Army to the British Forces requesting the ceasefire of a gun which is still firing towards the German lines; and the fourth telegram, from the British First Army, appears to be an acknowledgement of receipt of the third message.
