Confusing

The article is unclear about the relationship (or difference) between Armistice Day and Remembrance Day. The header to this article says 'Not to be confused with Armistice Day', but the intro to that article says 'Armistice Day, later known as Remembrance Day'. Are they the same thing?

+{{edit semi-protected|Remembrance Day|answered=yes}}
-Ha. In the 1970s and prior ANZAC day in Victoria was a public holiday equaled only by Christmas day.  The day on which everything was shut, and no kind of business was appropriate.  Even stuff that was open on Sundays (libraries, sports, milkbars) was closed.  !! November was a minutes silence: ANZAC day was 24 hours, starting with the private dawn ceremony for ex-members, followed by wreath laying, then drinking and illegal gambling (not restricted for service clubs on the One Day of the Year).
