Large paperback in tidy read condition. Slight creasing to spine.

Of all the million British dead of the First World War, only one - the Unknown Soldier - was ever returned to his native land. An anonymous symbol of all those lost without trace in the carnage of the battlefields, he was laid to rest in Westminster Abbey amid an outporing of grief that brought the whole nation to a standstill, far outweighing even the emotion that was to greet the death of Princess Diana almost eighty years later.
