Talk:The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier/@comment-31772644-20180216225958

I just learned a bit about this. Apparently the tomb was exhumed and identified in the 1990s, making it not so unknown. It does fit with the effect of finding information about the deceased though. There is also one in Britain established in the 1920s, containing one unknown soldier who was randomly selected and recieved a full military honor funeral. Apparently this sort of thing was very common after WW1, but the British and French were the first to dedicate a tomb in this way (they did so cuncurrently, organized by both governments).
