Dan Snow hears recollections of the closing moments of the war in archive interviews recorded by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and Imperial War Museum, and how people felt now the war had come to an end

Dan Snow presents the final episode of Voices of the First World War, veterans recall what they were doing when the armistice took effect at 11 o'clock on 11th November 1918, and how they felt now the end of the war had at last arrived. Alongside relief, disbelief, and celebrations, there was also an empty feeling, and a looming question that seemed to trouble many of them: what were they going to do now?
