EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover image, taken from The Sphere Unknown Warrior Special Supplement published by Illustrated London News Ltd in November 1920, commemorates the Unknown Warrior, an unidentified British soldier whose remains were brought back from France and interred at Westminster Abbey in London. The Unknown Warrior represents the countless brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War, whose identities were lost in the chaos and carnage of the conflict. The hauntingly beautiful illustration depicts a lone figure, shrouded in mist and darkness, standing at the edge of a battlefield. In his hand, he holds a helmet, symbolizing the countless lives that were lost and the countless stories that were left untold. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring spirit of sacrifice and honor. The Sphere Unknown Warrior Special Supplement was published to mark the interment of the Unknown Warrior on November 11, 1920, the second anniversary of the end of the war. The publication was a tribute to the fallen heroes of the First World War and a testament to the enduring impact of their sacrifice on the British people. The cover image, with its powerful symbolism and evocative imagery, encapsulates the mood of the nation at the time and remains a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the war. This full page scan from Mary Evans Prints Online offers a unique glimpse into the historical significance of this moment in time and provides a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The image continues to resonate with audiences today, as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who served and died in the First World War and the enduring spirit of honor and sacrifice that continues to inspire us.
