11th Cenotaph Ceremony Special Sphere Supplement Unknown Warrior

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant image is taken from The Sphere Unknown Warrior Special Supplement, published on November 11, 1920, by The Illustrated London News Ltd. The photograph captures the solemn and historic moment of the Unknown Warrior's interment at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. The Unknown Warrior, an unidentified British soldier killed in the First World War, was chosen to represent the thousands of soldiers whose identities were unknown. His remains were brought back from France and laid to rest in Westminster Abbey on Armistice Day, 11th November 1920, in a ceremony attended by King George V, Queen Mary, and thousands of mourners. The image shows the Unknown Warrior's coffin being carried towards the Cenotaph, surrounded by soldiers, military bands, and dignitaries. The somber expression on the faces of the soldiers and the seriousness of the occasion are palpable. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who gave their lives during the First World War. The Sphere Unknown Warrior Special Supplement was published to commemorate this historic event and to pay tribute to the fallen heroes of the war. The full-page photograph is a testament to the significance of the occasion and the deep emotional impact it had on the nation. Today, the image remains a powerful symbol of the sacrifices made during the First World War and continues to inspire reflection and remembrance.
