The moment the first world war ended 10
A curiosity.
At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the guns fell silent.
By 1918, the British were using microphones to help pinpoint German guns. Signals were recorded on film. This image of what the microphones registered in the minutes either side of the armistice was recently discovered [2014] in the archives of the Imperial War Museum.
