Yeah... it's called Remembrance Day pretty much through-out the Commonwealth it is definitely more focused on remembering the terrible cost of war so that it doesn't happen again (or isn't entered into so lightly) - certainly not the time for nationalistic, overly-patriotic, or pro-war sentiments... (as our PM learned when comparing the War on Terror to the Great War)

See my post in Greek Life for a specific Greek connection to Remembrance Day services...
