Mozambique Comonwealth

That page states Mozambique is part of the Common Wealth but it’s wasn’t and is not, as it was a Portuguese Colony. As the edit button is disable can someone rectify this? Brunoeliaz (talk) 17:45, 11 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

'Remembrance Day' in Victorian times

On reading Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy, I came across the following sentence at the start of Part 6, Chapter 1:- "The place seems gay,' said Sue. 'Why - it is Remembrance Day!' This was written in 1896 and so long precedes the contemporary observance. Also from the context it is a joyous occasion rather than a sad one. I can find no reference to this celebration - can anyone help, and perhaps add a new section or disambiguation link to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arcencielltd (talkcontribs) 16:23, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Canada

It should be noted that Remembrance Day or the Monday following (if it is on Saturday or Sunday) are statutory holidays for all federal employees, federal agencies (i.e. Canada post) and federal regulated industries (i.e. banks).
