The Unknown Soldier

Buried 11 November 1920

Westminster Abbey

The Unknown Soldier

Was not really unknown

For he had a mother

Who wished him back home

Alas

Back home he did not come

But fell in foreign land

Killed by the Hun

From whence he did stand

This unknown warrior

Had a name, rank and number

Sadly shot by a foreigner

Triggered his eternal slumber

Brought back to England

To his final resting place

Bestowed by a band

As they returned him to base

You can see his sepulchre

At the west end of the nave

For he is the unknown warrior

Who was oh so brave
