Touching Scenes at Tomb
Of England's Unknown Warrior

London, Dec. 5-(By Associated
Press)-Scores of touching instances
have been witnessed at the tomb of
Britain's Unknown Warrior" in
Westminster Abbey as long lines of
men. women and children have
passed the black marble slab cover
ing the grave. for several days since
the burial there of the unidentified
soldier.
The fact that no one knows the
name of the man who lies beneath
the slab leads many to offer tributes
in the hope perhaps that the body is
that of missing son. The mother of
one of the thousands of unknown
warriors any one of whom might be
reposing In Westminster Abbey, laid
three war medals, the Mons Star. the
Victory Medal and the British War
Medal on the grave as she passed in
the line. They had been awarded to
her only son who was wounded three
times and afterwards reported miss
ing.
A soldiers modest Offering of flow
ers bore the inscription: IN loving
memory Of my two pals and all the
other pals"
The epitaph placed on the slab
reads: ."Hor King and Country
