The Centenary of the Unknown Warrior

30 November 2020

Every year on Armistice Day, The Western Front Association holds a ceremony at the Cenotaph in London. This has been seriously curtailed in 2020.

We hope this film gives some insight into the story behind the Unknown Warrior who was re-buried in Westminster Abbey on 11 November 1920 and how The Western Front Association continues the acts of remembrance on 11 November every year.
