Description
See below for English description.
Un livre à la mémoire des hommes et des femmes de toutes les forces armées du monde qui reposent, inconnus, dans des tombes marquées ou non, sur la terre ou sous la mer. L'auteure Linda Grandfield a consulté des archives sur les soldats inconnus de plusieurs pays du monde pour écrire ce livre fort informatif et touchant. Elle montre des photos de soldats dans différents conflits armés avant d'expliquer l'origine des monuments commémoratifs du Soldat inconnu de différents pays, dont celui du Canada, des états-Unis, de la France, de l'Angleterre et de plusieurs autres pays. L'auteure explique aussi comment la technologie et l'identification génétique font en sorte qu'il y a aujourd'hui beaucoup moins d'« inconnus ». Nous continuons toutefois à honorer la mémoire des quelques soldats que nous connaissions peut-être... et celle des millions d'autres que nous n'avons jamais pu connaître.
In the aftermath of the First World War, countries mourned their fallen sons, brothers, husbands, and fathers.In 1920, in both France and England, memorials were erected to those lost heroes who had remained anonymous. Around the world other countries followed suit, each country creating it's own version of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.Now, award-winning author Linda Granfield presents her own tribute to these fallen soldiers. Taking readers on a journey to the Tombs in more than a dozen countries, Ms. Granfield shares over 100 photos and images that ultimately reveal a timeless lesson: this November and every November we must remember those who served - both known and unknown.
