Letter to an unknown soldier
A new kind of war memorial made by thousands of people...
On Platform One of Paddington Station in London, there is a statue of an unknown soldier; he’s reading a letter.
On the hundredth anniversary of the declaration of war – in a year crowded with official remembrance and ceremony – we invited everyone in the country to pause, take a moment or two, and write that letter.
All the letters the soldier received are published here, creating a new kind of war memorial – one made only of words.
