The Unknown Warrior, buried "among the kings" in Westminster Abbey, under a simple black stone, is to rest beneath a new and far more stately monument.

That inconspicuous stone, above which have bent in homage multitudes from the world over, has for some time been accounted too humble a covering for the symbol of the nation's greatest sacrifice.

During the past few years many strangers, who have come from afar as pilgrims to the shrine, have passed it unaware and have had to be directed to it by the vergers. DESIGN COMPLETED

Now the Dean and Chapter of the Abbey, in concert with the Imperial War Graves Commission, have decided to raise a worthy memorial upon the tomb of the mun, "unknown by name or rank," who was "brought from France to ile among the most illustrious of the land."

The advice of distinguished artists and architects has been cought, and i already a design has been completed. Its most notable feature is provi- sion for a niche wherein will burn a flame-perpetually.

This flame will symbolise alt that

is eternal in mankind-the spirit of courage, of faith, of willing sacrifice, of dauntless hope.

There, in the alcove, the flame will gleam through the arches of the years facred signal to all genera- tions of the British race.
