Taking time on holiday in the #Tunisian sun to read a book by @JohnNicholRAF that’s been on my reading pile for too long. Thank you John for writing such a well researched, thoughtful & emotionally charged study of this powerful topic. #Theunknownwarrior
7/#TheUnknownWarrior arrives at Dover then placed in the 'Edith Cavell' carriage @KandESRailway for the journey to London. Tonight at 3032, @TheWFA will commemorate his arrival at Victoria where he rested before the final stage of his journey on the 11th.
The Unknown Warrior is an unidentified member of the British Imperial armed forces who died on the western front during the First World War. He is interred in a grave at Westminster Abbey, also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. @JohnNicholRAF #TheUnknownWarrior
4/#TheUnknownWarrior journey home
What happened to the 3 sets of remains not selected is a mystery. Reports differ. Some say buried at St Pol, some that they were left by roadside to be discovered by later search teams, others that they were re-buried elsewhere. No definitive account exists.
1/#TheUnknownWarrior journey home in 1920:
7th November, a grand medieval casket, of 2" thick oak from Hampton Court @HRP_palaces which would eventually contain the body (yet to be selected) was taken to Westminster @wabbey to be photographed before being transported to France.
Finally got to see "The Unknown Warrior" yesterday evening, which was very thought-provoking and very well narrated by the lovely @JohnNicholRAF. What a lovely chap he is. #theunknownwarrior
This evening I was fortunate enough to witness what was without doubt one of the most thought provoking and moving reminders of the significance to our nation of the journey of our #TheUnknownWarrior.
Presented by the wonderful @JohnNicholRAF
Remembering Private Joseph Fraser one of the missing 16 September 1916 High Wood, The Somme, brought home tonight.
Thank you John.
A fantastic evening with @JohnNicholRAF at his #TheUnknownWarrior show at Worcester. Powerful, deeply moving & brilliantly produced👏 - and was great to have a quick chat afterwards at the book signing. All my friends in the @DorsetIc should get down to see him in Poole!
It was great to meet @JohnNicholRAF at the launch of his new book in Chesham, #TheUnknownWarrior.
If it's anything like his other books, it will be a great read.
📻 Tuned into @BBCRadio2 to hear @JohnNicholRAF discussing #TheUnknownWarrior with @theJeremyVine coming to The Atkinson very soon!
In this theatre production, John Nichol emotionally retraces the Unknown Warrior's journey home.

#TheUnknownWarrior -
#Bangor officer’s pivotal role.
Roll of Honour #rollofhonour ✝️🙏
#OnThisDay in #1920 in strictest #secrecy, four #unidentified #British #bodies were #exhumed from temporary #battlefield #cemeteries at #Ypres, #Arras, the #Asine, and the #Somme.
None of the #soldiers who did the digging were told why. An amazing piece of footage was rediscovered from the #UTV archive. It was of #Major Ernest Fitzsimon sitting in the family garden in Bangor in 1966, casually discussing his pivotal role in one of the greatest mysteries of the #FirstWorldWar. He speaks about how he submitted a scheme for the operation, which was accepted and implemented under his supervision. He was filmed in 1966 as part of the commemorations of the #BattleOfTheSomme.
In today’s Roll for #1914 five #members of the #RoyalInniskillingFusiliers ☘️🇬🇧 from #NorthernIreland are remembered - Robert Averall from #Dungannon, Fred Davidson from #Belfast, John Newell from Stewartstown, Patrick O’Connor from #Londonderry and William Parker from #Enniskillen. There were almost 30 men from the #Regiment killed on this day. Most entries in the #CWGC roll do not include their home addresses. All are named on the #PloegsteertMemorial, #Belgium 🇧🇪. They died in the First #BattleOfYpres, the last major battle of the first year of World War I, which ends the Race to the Sea.
In 1944 three Northern Ireland ☘️🇬🇧 men were lost on the #LandingCraft LST- 420 which sank within sight of #Ostend when she hit a mine that immediately broke the ship in two parts. Robert Dinsmore of #Claudy, Samuel Foreman of Belfast, and John Rosborough of Londonderry were among the 14 officers and 224 other ranks who were lost. 31 were saved.
