Update on the Unknown Soldier project

Further to my blog entry below - over twenty one and and half thousand letters were sent to the Unknown Soldier before the closing date of August 4th (the centenary of World War One's outbreak). So many different, thought-provoking messages - stories (true and imaginary), poems, memories of those who fought at the front and those who served on the home front, many written in the form of letters from wives, sweethearts, children. They make hugely affecting reading - do look at the website, they'll be displayed there until the centenary of the war's end in 1918, after which they will be preserved in the British Library.
