The Unknown Soldier’s tomb refers to a monument dedicated to the memories of all warriors killed during the First Warld War and it commemorated these soldiers with a single tomb, containing the body of one such unidentified warrior.

The idea of a symbolic tomb of the Unknown Soldier was created by the Reverend David Railton, during the Great War, who had seen a grave marked by the quote “An Unknown British Soldier”.

Brigadier General L.J. Wyatt was put in change of the selection of the body in France, where the remains of four unknown british war casualties were exhumed. One of the problem was the identity of the warriors; they may have been a sailor, a soldier or a airman, but they were a warriors who give their life for the people of the British Empire.
On November 7 the bodies were travelled to St. Pol Chapel and were covered by the Union Flag. General Wyatt entered in the Chapel, selected one of the corpses at random and two officers placed the body in a coffin and reinterred it in a military cemetery at St. Pol.
On November 9 the coffin was placed inside another casket of english oak and was sent from France to England by a boath: the HMS Verdun.
The funeral of the Unknown Warrior was to take place on Armistic Day, 11 November 1920 when the casket was placed on a wagon drawn by six black horses and sent to Westminster Abbey.

The idea of the tomb of the Unknown Soldier spread also to other countries, that created their own tombs. But all the tombs of the Unknown Soldiers contain identified remains of a dead soldier and this is the symbolism of the monument. The Unknown Warrior was one who fell in service of the nation and therefore serves as a monument symbolizing all of the sacrifices.
