Special Sphere Supplement Unknown Warrior


EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-page image is taken from The Sphere, a weekly illustrated newspaper published by Illustrated London News Ltd, and appears on Page 5 of the Special Supplement dedicated to the Unknown Warrior. The photograph was published in 1920, following the end of the First World War. The Unknown Warrior is a symbolic representation of the countless soldiers who lost their lives during the war, whose identities were never discovered or whose bodies were not recovered. The image shows a solemn procession carrying the Unknown Warrior's coffin through the streets of London. The coffin, draped in the Union Jack flag, is being carried on a gun carriage drawn by six white horses. The procession is led by military personnel, including members of the Royal Navy, Army, and Royal Flying Corps, as well as representatives from various branches of the British government and the Church of England. The crowd that lines the streets is a sea of people from all walks of life, united in their grief and respect for the fallen soldiers. The somber mood is further emphasized by the grey, overcast sky and the rain that falls gently on the procession. The image captures the collective sorrow and mourning of the nation for the sacrifices made during the war. The Unknown Warrior was interred in Westminster Abbey on November 11, 1920, in a ceremony attended by thousands of people. The tomb remains a symbol of remembrance and honor for the fallen soldiers of the First World War and is visited by millions of people every year.
