The Minister of National Security, Mr Albert Kan-Dapaah, yesterday joined Ministers of State, Members of the Diplomatic Corps, Ex-Service men, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), and other dignitaries to commemorate this year's Remembrance Day.
The day, which falls on November 11 every year, is set aside to remember Ghanaian veterans and others who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.
Remembrance Day, also known as "Poppy Day", is observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states to remember members of their Armed Forces who sacrificed their lives in World War 1 and World War 2 in their line of duty.
The solemn occasion began with troupe made up of the Ghana Army, which marched through the entrance of the Christiansborg War Cemetery in Osu, which contains 419 burials of the Second World War casualties.
