Description
An account of the resource
World War I brought massive loss of life and many service member's remains were unidentifiable and thus placed in graves designated as unknown. After the creation of Tombs of the Unknown in Great Britain and France, Congress authorized a national memorial for these unknown soldiers in 1921. Four unknown soldier remains were disinterred and one of them was chosen by a World War I veteran US Army Sgt Edward Younger; this special casket was brought back and buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in a special marble tomb. The crypt bears the inscription "Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God". With the rise of tourists,since 1937 the US Army has maintained a 24/7 guard which became the responsibility of the 3rd Infantry Division or "Old Guard." After both World War II and the Korean War additional unknown remains were added in adjacent crypts in 1958. In the 1980s amidst controversy, a Vietnam War service person's remains was added, but subsequent pressure by family members and veterans and DNA testing verified the remains as those of Air Force 1st Lt. Michael Joseph Blassie in 1998. His family requested his reburial at the National Cemetery at Jefferson Barracks Missouri. The Vietnam War Tomb of the Unknown has never been filled and instead was rededicated as a memorial to all service person's from 1958-1975 who are still missing.

An account of the resource
This large granite monument sits atop the site where 2,111 remains of unknown soldiers gathered from nearby Civil War battlefields. Because the remains were often little more than pieces of bones or ash, they most likely contain by Union and Confederate soldiers. The engraving states that their remains could not be identified, their names are known and have been recorded by a grateful nation. This was the first tomb to unknowns placed at Arlington.

Description
An account of the resource
Under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris lies the French Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This somber site is a flat tomb with a perpetual flame. This most sacred site in France honors the millions of French soldiers whose final resting place is not known and was created after World War I. The tomb lies flat in the pavement and is outlined with copper bricks and low chain border. It is surrounded by the court of honor of the Arc and its symbolic remembrance of France's triumphs in wartime. The Arc and Tomb sit in the middle of the round-about of the Champs Elysee in central Paris and are accessible from an underground walkway on the nearby sidewalk. This area is the site of many French ceremonies to honor those who have served their country.

Description
An account of the resource
This large single arch in the middle of the Champs Elysse in Paris was originally begun by Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte to celebrate Imperial France's victories. The inside of the arch is carved with the names of French victories from the Revolution an Napoleonic Wars and more than 500 generals. On the outer surfaces are carved reliefs of which the most famous is La Marseillaise of Francois Rude. Inside there is a staircase to the top of the memorial; inside the top of the arch is a small museum and bookstore and then a few more stairs to the terrace on the top of the arch. The view from the top of the Arc provides a magnificent view around Paris and the confluence of the six main boulevards. Underneath the Arc are bronze plaques placed into the pavement that honor all of France's conflicts from the mid-1800s to the present. And in the center of the area underneath the Arc is France's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier placed here after World War I. Access to the Arc is provided by an underground walkway from the nearby sidewalks so that observers do not have to cross the very busy streets. The Arc is visible from a great distance down the streets that converge upon the round-about on which it sits. And at night it is lit up with somber amber lights.

Description
An account of the resource
This cemetery was begun after the war ended and comprised remains brought from nearby battlefields, many of them unknown. The Australian National Memorial was built within the cemetery site since so many Australians lost their lives in this area. Work has continued on identifying remains and burying them in cemeteries near where they fought. From this cemetery, one of the unknown Australian soldiers buried here was chosen for the Australian Tomb of the Unknown at the National Memorial in Canberra in 1993.

The topic of the resource

Description
An account of the resource
Located on “Hill 104” the Australian National Memorial was designed by the CWGC architect Edwin Lutyens. This was the last of the great British and Commonwealth memorials to be built in France and Belgium. This area was again the site of combat in World War II and the memorial suffered extensive damage most of which was repaired after the war. On the panels on each side of the main tower are inscribed the names of more than 11,000 Australians who have no known grave. One can climb the stairs in the tower for a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside that saw so much horrific fighting during World War I. Also the tower provides an excellent view of the small cemetery that sits in front of the memorial. In 1993, an unknown Australian soldier was exhumed from the cemetery at Villers-Bretonneux and given into the protection of an Australian honor guard here at the National Memorial. The Australian Unknown Soldier lay in rest here before beginning his journey home to the Australian Tomb of the Unknown in Canberra. He represents the 11,000 unknown Australians who died in World War I and the more than 100,000 Australians who gave their lives in the two World Wars.
