World War One: Commemoration
大象传媒 programming to commemorate the centenary of World War One.
The 大象传媒 Events team will provide live coverage of the major national events in the UK and in Europe that commemorate this important anniversary.
From marking 100 years since the outbreak of war on 4 August 2014 through to the centenary of the Armistice on 11 November 2018, the 大象传媒 will cover all of the key moments including the anniversaries of Gallipoli, Jutland, the Somme and Passchendaele.
One of the most poignant ceremonies will be broadcast live on 4 August from the evocative setting of St Symphorien Military Cemetery located in Mons, Belgium. This cemetery was established in 1914 as the final resting place for both British and German soldiers who died at the Battle of Mons.
