Centenary of World War OnePrint Page 
The pine trees commemorate 100 years since the Armistice Agreement which ended World War One. .
In 1918, the infusion of American troops and resources into the western front finally tipped the scale in the Allies' favour. Germany signed an armistice agreement with the Allies on November 11, 1918 which ended the fighting.
On June 28, 1919, the Treaty of Versailles was signed at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, France. The treaty was one of several that officially ended five years of conflict known as the Great War—World War One. The Treaty of Versailles outlined the conditions of peace between Germany and the victorious Allies, led by the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. Other Central Powers (significantly, Austria-Hungary) signed different treaties with the Allies.
