EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative vintage lantern slide captures a poignant moment in history as the Cortege of the Unknown Warrior passes the Cenotaph in London during the funeral procession of the Unknown Warrior on November 11, 1920. The Unknown Warrior, an unidentified soldier from World War I, was chosen to represent the countless brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice during the war. The Cortege, which included representatives from the armed forces, the government, and the King and Queen of England, made its way from the railway station to Westminster Abbey for the memorial service. The somber procession moved slowly through the streets of London, with thousands of mourners lining the route to pay their respects. The image shows the Cortege passing the Cenotaph, a war memorial dedicated to the British and Empire forces who lost their lives in World War I. The Cenotaph, which means "empty tomb," is a simple yet powerful symbol of remembrance. The soldier in the foreground, dressed in Victorian or Edwardian uniform, stands at attention, his hat held respectfully over his heart as the procession passes. This poignant moment in history serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and the importance of remembrance. The image, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical record of this significant event.
