On November 7th, 1920, in strictest secrecy, four unidentified British bodies were exhumed from temporary battlefield cemeteries at Ypres, Arras, the Asine and the Somme.
None of the soldiers who did the digging were told why.
The bodies were taken by field ambulance to GHQ at St-Pol-Sur-Ter Noise. Once there, the bodies were draped with the union flag.
Sentries were posted and Brigadier-General Wyatt and a Colonel Gell selected one body at random. The other three were reburied.
A French Honour Guard was selected and stood by the coffin overnight of the chosen soldier overnight.
On the morning of the 8th November, a specially designed coffin made of oak from the grounds of Hampton Court arrived and the Unknown Warrior was placed inside.
On top was placed a crusaders sword and a shield on which was inscribed:
"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 for King and Country".
On the 9th of November, the Unknown Warrior was taken by horse-drawn carriage through Guards of Honour and the sound of tolling bells and bugle calls to the quayside.
There, he was saluted by Marechal Foche and loaded onto HMS Vernon bound for Dover. The coffin stood on the deck covered in wreaths, surrounded by the French Honour Guard.
Upon arrival at Dover, the Unknown Warrior was met with a nineteen gun salute - something that was normally only reserved for Field Marshals.
A special train had been arranged and he was then conveyed to Victoria Station, London.
He remained there overnight, and, on the morning of the 11th of November, he was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.
The idea of the unknown warrior was thought of by a Padre called David Railton who had served on the front line during the Great War the union flag he had used as an altar cloth whilst at the front, was the one that had been draped over the coffin.
It was his intention that all of the relatives of the 517,773 combatants whose bodies had not been identified could believe that the Unknown Warrior could very well be their lost husband, father, brother or son...
THIS is the reason we wear poppies.
We do not glorify war.
We remember - with humility - the great and the ultimate sacrifices that were made, not just in this war, but in every war and conflict where our service personnel have fought - to ensure the liberty and freedoms that we now take for granted.
Every year, on the 11th of November, we remember the Unknown Warrior.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

@Termina24 Thanks James,This might seem like a silly question, but do you have any recommendations for a solution to monitors and alerts on bandwidth performance in a home network, such as notifying on B/w degradation, avg B/w calculations etc to check the ISP delivers what it has agreed?

@Termina24 Thank you James. How did you know if the Plusnet DNS service was down. Did they send a Comms out? Their social media page did not have any information about the outage. Just curious 😁
English

@NickMoyes @StroketheDog Yes, and it will probably be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 and I think BT uses 192.168.0.254

@StroketheDog @Termina24 I'm not great at config stuff, but you ought to be able to get the Default Gateway IP address by typing 'ipconfig' at the Command prompt, then entering your routers admin password.

@Termina24 I can't get onto my router homepage for some reason, not sure why.

@therealADT @Plusnet If you use Plusnet internet security then you will need to change them back otherwise fine if not better on Google

@Termina24 Thank you, changed it on router and works fine. Is it ok to leave on Google DNS? Or will need to change back once @plusnet get their act together?
