About Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in brief
A Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a monument dedicated to the services of an unknown soldier and to the common memories of all soldiers killed in war. Such tombs can be found in many nations and are usually high-profile national monuments. Tombs typically contain the remains of a dead soldier who is unidentified. These remains are considered impossible to identify, and so serve as a symbol for all of a country’s unknown dead wherever they fell in the war being remembered.
The anonymity of the entombed soldier is the key symbolism of the monument; it could be the tomb of anyone who fell in service of the nation. At least one unknown soldier has been identified by DNA analysis.
