1922 Rotogravure Great Britain Westminster Abbey Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

This is an original 1922 sepia rotogravure of the coffin of Great Britain's 'unknown soldier.'

The bottom image shows General Pershing giving an address at the location, before placing the Congressional Medal of Honor on top of the coffin as tribute.
