I used to wonder if I’d get through This war to end all wars Ever get me a wife and a child A home with grandchildren too. Mum cried when I signed up But I did it for her as well I was no frightened young pup The honour, the glory sounded swell. For king and country we all must fight To protect...

Voice of the Unknown Soldier Do You Perhaps Remember Me? Somehow I Hope You Do. I'd Hate to Think You Don't Care That I Gave My Life for You. You Don't Think That Possible? I Don't Even Know Your Name, But it doesn’t Make Any Difference I Died for Your Sake, Just the Same. ...

I stand at your grave. I do not know your name. I know not where you are from. Where you fought, nor where you died. The horrors and pain you suffered, were not in vain.
