EDITORS COMMENTS
Le 'Combattant Inconnu Britannique' or the Unknown British Soldier: On the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of November, 1920, London. This poignant photograph captures a significant moment in British history as King George V approaches the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, for the unveiling ceremony of the war memorial. The date, November 11, 1920, marks the end of the First World War and the beginning of the remembrance tradition. The King's arrival signaled the start of two minutes of silence, a powerful moment of reflection and commemoration for the fallen soldiers. The image, taken from 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, portrays the solemn procession of the royal cortege, carrying the coffins of the Unknown Soldiers from France and Belgium, towards Westminster Abbey for their interment. This symbolic event, honoring the sacrifices of millions, became a powerful and enduring symbol of peace and remembrance in the post-war era.
