Grade 10 drama students at in Woodbridge, volunteered to create the school鈥檚 virtual Remembrance Day memorial about, 鈥淭he Unknown Soldier.鈥�
Who is 鈥淭he Unknown Soldier?鈥�
There are too many unidentified soldiers. Too many soldiers that have died, and their bodies not able to be brought back to their home country. There are no graves for these soldiers, but the families needed somewhere they could go and mourn. Throughout history, many soldiers have died in war with their remains being unidentified. Following World War I, a movement arose to honour these soldiers with a single tomb, containing the body of one such unidentified soldier.
