Over one million British Empire soldiers were killed during the First World War. More than a century later, more than half a million still have no known grave.

The scale of the fighting, the destructive power of high explosive, and the combination of relentless military engagement and glutinous mud meant that many of the dead were never recovered or identified. Names were left without bodies, and bodies, or fragments of bodies, without names.

In an emotional personal journey, Sunday Times bestselling author John Nichol uncovers the dramatic story of the Unknown Warrior who lies in Westminster Abbey, and our nation’s deep-seated need to honour and mourn the fallen.

‘A Soldier of the Great War Known Unto God.’ - Rudyard Kipling

In the aftermath of the First World War, an idea was born for a single ‘Unknown Warrior’ to commemorate every one of the missing, and help staunch the tidal flow of national grief. Echoed most recently by the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, each phase of his burial ceremony was choreographed with military precision, love, and respect.

Former RAF Tornado Navigator and Gulf War prisoner-of-war John Nichol, retraces the Warrior’s journey home from the battlefields of Northern France to Westminster Abbey, talking to relatives of those involved and researching long-forgotten archives.

How did the plan take shape? Who was this ‘unknown’ man? How was he chosen, and from where? What were the logistical challenges of repatriating a single body, whilst retaining its total anonymity?

To help shine light on the 100-year-old story, John seeks out modern experts in battlefield trauma, the recovery of the slain, and the complexities of ceremonial interment on a grand scale.

And speaking to those who have lost loved ones in more recent conflicts, he meditates upon our continuing need of a tangible resting place at which to truly grieve the fallen.

Drawing on his own experience of military service and combat, Nichol explores the way individuals and nations have marked the sacrifice of their dead across the ages.

Above all, The Unknown Warrior is a search for the true meaning of camaraderie, service and remembrance.

第一次世界大战中有超过一百万名英国帝国士兵丧生。一个多世纪后，仍然有超过五十万多人没有明确的墓地。 战斗规模、高爆炸弹的巨大破坏力以及持续不断的军事行动与粘稠的淤泥相结合，导致许多死难者未能被发现或确认身份。一些人的名字与尸体分离，而身体或身体残骸则与姓名无关。 在一次情感和个人旅程中，卫报畅销书作家约翰·尼科尔揭露了埋葬在威斯敏斯特教堂里的“未知战士”所讲述的戏剧性故事，并揭示了我们国家对缅怀阵亡者深深的需要。 “一位伟大的战争士兵，仅被上帝知晓。”——鲁德亚德·基勒金 在一战之后，诞生了一个单一的“未知战士”，以纪念所有的失踪人员，并帮助止住民族哀痛的浪潮。最近在本杰明·尼科尔皇后的葬礼上再次回响，他的丧礼仪式每一步都经过军事精准、爱与尊重的编排。 前皇家空军Tornado导航员和海湾战争战俘约翰·尼科尔追溯了这位战士从诺曼底前线回家之路，并与那些参与其中的人及其长眠未被遗忘的历史记录进行交谈。 这个计划是如何形成的？这个“未知”的男人是谁？他是如何被选择的，又是来自哪里？单个遗体的运输物流挑战是什么？ 为了帮助照亮这一百年故事，尼科尔寻求了现代战场创伤专家、死难者救援专家以及大规模庄重安葬中的复杂问题的现代专家。 并且与在近期冲突中失去亲人的人们交谈，他反思我们继续需要一个实际的哀悼地点来真正哀悼阵亡者的需要。 借助本人作为军人和战斗经历的支持，尼科尔探索了个人和社会如何跨越几个世纪纪念他们死去的牺牲者的行为。 最重要的是，《未知战士》是一次搜寻真实意义的努力，那就是团结、服务与纪念。
