About this product

Product Information

Of all the million British dead of the First World War, only one - the Unknown Soldier - was ever returned to his native land. An anonymous symbol of all those lost without trace in the carnage of the battlefields, he was laid to rest in Westminster Abbey amid an outpouring of grief that brought the whole nation to a standstill, far outweighing even the emotion expressed over the death of Princess Diana over eighty years later. Inspired by this example, almost every combatant nation buried its own Unknown Soldier and the graves became the focus of a pilgrimage that still continues today.

Every word is based on testimony of those who fought, those who died and those who mourned.

Amid all their sufferings, the common humanity of the men and their loved ones shines through. Each soldier lives on in the memory of his family to this day. They stand at the head o

    While the movie took sometime to arrive it did arrive safely and for free postage from overseas. The dvd was well packaged and in very good condition just as described by the sender. Communication with the seller was excellent and response to a recent communication over this items non arrival was very fast (note the movie arrived the next day). I would have no hesitation in using this seller again.

    Items delivered as described in second hand/used condition. Good seller communication. The outer shipping packaging was very thin plastic with no additional protective packaging. The DVD discs were also not well secured in their cases & some of the DVD discs had therefore predictably come loose inside their DVD cases in postal transit. It was very fortunate that the loose DVD discs were not scuffed or scratched inside their plastic cases in postal transit. Please note this matter in future.
