This book tells the story of the events leading to the burial of the Unknown Warrior in Westminster Abbey on 11 November 1920. The author, a WFA member, has researched the origin of the idea for the burial, which was first suggested by the Rev. David Railton MC. By drawing on newspaper reports and records held both at the PRO and in the Royal Archives at Windsor, the author describes the selection of a body from a number of bodies brought together at St Pol, and the conveyance of that body to London to take part in the nation\'s act of Remembrance on the second anniversary of the Armistice; this was a time when the nation was in deep mourning for those who had lost their lives in the Great War. Quite rightly, the author makes no attempt to identify the body brought back from France.
