Some of you may be aware that Letter to an Unknown Soldier made it on Buzzfeed. I thought I might take a stab at my own sort of Buzzfeed-style feature. You can read it below the cut.
Over the last month, Letter to an Unknown Soldier has been gathering submissions from the public to create a digital war memorial for WWI. We asked people to write the letter the statue in Paddington Station is reading.
The response was extraordinary!
Some of the letters were funny.
Some were sad.
Some were angry.
Some were horrified.
Some were sorry.
Though the project was targeted at the United Kingdom, letters came from all around the world.
Some came from the USA.
Some came from France.
Some came from Egypt.
The letters depicted people of different beliefs—like priests,
and monks,
and Sikhs,
and Hindus.
Some letters were true.
