Since the Armistice has been in the news ....

"As we approach the centenary of the Armistice on November 11, the
Imperial War Museum has released a recording of the moment the war
ended, patched together using archive material from their collections.
The artillery activity it illustrates was recorded on the American
front near the River Moselle, one minute before and one minute after
the war ended. Strangely, audio couldn=E2=80=99t be recorded at the time so
the Allies created them using =E2=80=98sound ranging, which recorded the
intensity of noise to photographic film (a seismograph for earthquakes
is a good comparison). This visual record allowed the Imperial War
Museum to turn the moment back into audio to give an impression of
what the moment was like."
