About that altar cenotaph there were little groups of strange people, all waiting for the dead soldier. Why were they there?

There were great folk' greet the dust p! a simple soldier: There was the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London and other clergy in gowns and hoods. What had they to do with the body of a soldier who had gone trudging through the mud and muck like one and in a legion of ants, unknown to fame, not more heroic, perhaps than all his pals about him, not missed much when he fell dead between the tangled wire and the shell holes?

Then all was still, and the picture was. complete framing in that coffin where the steel hat and the King's sword lay upon the flag which draped it. The soul of the nation at its best. purified at this moment by this emotion, was there in silence about the dust of that unknown.

It was a time of silence. What thoughts were in the minds of all the people only God knows, as they stood there for those two minutes which were very long.

There was dead stillness in Whitehall, only broken here and there by the cough- ing of a man or woman, quickly hushed.

The silence ended. Some word rang out bugles were blowing; they were sounding the last post to the unknown warrior of the great war in which many men died without record or renown.
