		Night had fallen before the soldiers and their comrade marines, who jointly shared the honor of guarding the resting place of the unknown dead, moved to check the stream of humanity that continued its measured flow.

		The Unknown Soldier was buried in his boots and his gas mask, just another body hurriedly put under the ground of northern France during the First World War, but he would return to a hero's welcome nearly 90 years later, his funeral attended by the prime minister and the Governor General.
