Armistice Communication Demob Demobilisation Gradual In Formation Leaflet Official Process Security Signed 1919 Ww 1

EDITORS COMMENTS
This Demobilization Leaflet, Army Form Z 70, was distributed to soldiers in the aftermath of the Armistice signed on November 11, 1919, marking the end of the First World War. Despite the signing of the Armistice, demobilization was not an immediate process due to the vast numbers of soldiers involved and the continuing need for security measures. The leaflet explains that "the process of demobilization must be gradual and orderly" and that soldiers should "remain in formation and obey all orders" until they receive further instructions. The official document, signed by various high-ranking military officers, emphasizes the importance of maintaining discipline and order during this transitional period. The communication channel between the military and its soldiers was crucial during this time, as the leaflet also provides information on how and when soldiers would be sent home, and what they could expect upon their return. The printed leaflet served as an essential tool for managing the demobilization process and ensuring a smooth transition from military life to civilian life for the millions of soldiers who had served in the war effort.
