I've asked this same question on several forums..... Okay, twa, tae be precise.
But I've never goat a satisfactory answer. (So the logical thing tae dae is ask it oan here whaur Ah'm unlikely tae get onny answer at a')
Why is it that some war memorials on Scotland seem to think WW1 ended in 1919 while others think it ended in 1918?
Check oot the next memorial ye happen tae pass.

Has it finished at all, as ukip, brexiteers and other such Brit nat nutters seem to think we are still fighting the Hun and other such Jonny foreigners, they think either the kaiser or that other chap Hitler's, him of only one ball are alive and kicking

Plus June 1919 was the signing of treaty of Versailles when the war actually ended 11/11/18 was just an armistice
11/11/18 was only it stopping on the western front too, it continued elsewhere around world for about six months

Aye but.....
Thanks ferra reply, but it disnae really explain why only some memorials gi'e the end date as 1919. Col, for example, is 1918, while its near neighbour, Tiree, says 1919.
And whit aboot Ingurland? They wiz involved in WW1 as weel, but - as far as Ah ken - a' their memorials say 1918.

An' Ah've even spoke tae some retired colonel at Embru Castle whit runs the "Role o'Honour" and the whole memorial business....... He didnae seem tae have even noticed until Ah telt him. (Embra Castle's ane memorial, btw, is 1918.)
