On the 9th November the 11th Division established its outpost line beyond the Mons-Mauberge road and the high ground to the east of Havay was occupied before 11am on the 11th November, when the Armistice brought hostilities to a close.
Between the 26th and 28th November the Division moved back behind the Schelde to Denain, Wallers, and Conde, and for the rest of the year educational training was undertaken and men were sent on technical courses. Demobilization began in January, 1919 and continued at an increasing pace; on the 1st February the infantry of the division still numbered 8,239 all ranks, but by the 1st March this total had shrunk to 4,864. On the 19th February the outlying brigade at Conde moved in to Denain, and units were broken up to cadre strength, and in June the cadres began moving to England to be broken up. By the 28th June the infantry strength had dwindled to 228 all ranks and the war history of the Division then came to an end. During the Great War the 11th (Northern) Division lost 32,165 killed, wounded, and missing.
