Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Last night after I had retired about 8:00 heard wild cheering. Then the report came in of Armistice being signed. Everybody went wild. Flares were sent up, fires burning, machine guns and Jerry pistols. We were then invited over to 95th [squadron] for a party, which we all had, and such a night, always to be remembered. This morning there was an order issued that there would be no more fighting after 11:00 A.M. at 5 minutes of 11:00. I took off trying to get to the Front, was unable. Attended a dinner last this evening given by 147th [squadron] in honor of their years’ service in France.
