It is 11:00 11/11/1918. I am a British infantry soldier on the front lines. What can i expect to happen in the next few hours/days/weeks?

Now that the guns have just gone silent a moment ago, what is going to happen to me? Do i occupy enemy trenches? Have a big party? Occupy parts of Germany? How long before I go home? How am I likely to greet a fellow soldier from the german side?

I do not wish to discourage answers, but as brought up here, the Great War Channel is actually pretty well researched and fairly well respected, if with a couple reservations on precision from earlier on in the series (which I imagine are mostly due to the format of short videos for each week). The example /u/xargav gave was Indy saying "in the middle of March" instead of "March 17th".

So, I feel mostly confident in saying that this video might help you for the few minutes or hours around 1918-11-11 11:00. Indy also mentions that over the next few weeks they will be releasing more videos about what happened following the Armistice.
