On August 2, 2014 at 14:58 air-raid sirens will be wailing in communes across Luxembourg for 2 minutes to commemorate the start of the Great War in the country.
Residents of Luxembourg are urged not to panic when the alarm is raised to mark the Great War centenary tomorrow.
The First World War officially began in Luxembourg on the 2nd of August 1914. The day before, at about 7 in the evening, the first German soldiers entered the northern part of neutral Luxembourg, taking over the country, as they began their march westwards to attack France.
