Over one million British Empire soldiers died during the First World War. More than a century later, over half a million still have no known grave.
As the nation grieved, the need for remembrance became paramount, and an idea was born:
- A single ‘Unknown Warrior’, representing all the missing, would be recovered from the battlefields.
- This warrior would be buried in Westminster Abbey on Armistice Day, 11 November 1920, coinciding with the unveiling of the Cenotaph on Whitehall by the King.
Bestselling author and former RAF Tornado navigator John Nichol draws on his own experience of combat and loss to shine light on this century-old story. His search becomes a moving personal journey, exploring the true meaning of:
- Camaraderie
- Service
- Sacrifice
- Remembrance
This journey spans from the First World War through to the present day, offering a profound reflection on the enduring impact of these values.
