It wasnt a victory celebration though. Is that what is confusing you ?
It's called Remembrance day over here, not some sort of "Victory day". It's not about who won or lost, it's about the sacrifice of young men and women in all wars since WW1.
Phil Ochs summed it up quite well with this lyric.
"Oh I marched to the battle of New Orleans
At the end of the early British war
The young land started growing
The young blood started flowing
But I ain't marchin' anymore
For I've killed my share of Indians
In a thousand different fights
I was there at the Little Big Horn
I heard many men lying
I saw many more dying
But I ain't marchin' anymore
It's always the old to lead us to the war
It's always the young to fall
Now look at all we've won with the saber and the gun
Tell me is it worth it all
For I stole California from the Mexican land
Fought in the bloody Civil War
Yes I even killed my brother
And so many others
And I ain't marchin' anymore
For I marched to the battles of the German trench
In a war that was bound to end all wars
Oh I must have killed a million men
And now they want me back again
But I ain't marchin' anymore
For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky
Set off the mighty mushroom roar
When I saw the cities burning
I knew that I was learning
That I ain't marchin' anymore
Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants,
United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore,
Call it "Peace" or call it "Treason, "
Call it "Love" or call it "Reason, "
But I ain't marchin' any more."
Although the lyrics refer to Americans, The theme applies to everyone. Even Churchill said, "Jaw-jaw is better than war-war."
The most poignant line above for me is
"It's always the old to lead us to the war, it's always the young to fall."
You'd think we'd have learned our lesson by now.
