End date(s) of First World War

The lead presently says "Remembrance Day ... is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War in 1919 ...".

This seems ambiguous to me: does it mean "Remembrance Day ... is a memorial day observed since ... 1919 ..." or does it mean to imply that that the First World ended in 1919?

There is also the question of what is considered to be the end date of that War. (By the way, I am not the same person who made the "Semi-protected edit request on 11 October 2023" about the end date.) The various dates are spoken of in relation to the end of that War are more fully covered in the World War I article, especially in World_War_I#Formal_end_of_the_war, and I think it unnecessary to try to decide on one single date.

I have removed "in 2019" from the ambiguous sentence because it is unnecessary (dates relating to the end of the War are given later in the same paragraph), and to remove the ambiguity.

Also: in "Hostilities formally ended at the 11th hour ..." I have removed "formally". See: Armistice of 11 November 1918.

And: in the sentence "The First World War officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919" I have changed "officially" to "formally" (which then matches World_War_I#Formal_end_of_the_war).

Image - replacement

Can someone replace the image in the UK section of former FM of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon, with this...

After all, the day is about remembering veterans, their fallen comrades and their families, not politicians.

Remembrance Day is a day to remember soldiers who died while serving in the military. It started after World War I and is observed in many countries, especially those in the Commonwealth. Other countries also recognize this day to honor their soldiers. Remembrance Day is a day to remember soldiers who died while serving in the military.
