George Kendall exhumed six of British soldiers who were killed in the conflict, they were from all battlefields of the First War World. The Unknown Soldier’s body was chosen at random by Brigadier General LJ Wyatt. Nobody know the identity of British Unknown Warrior and so he can represent all British warriors who were killed in the First War World.
