"Known Unto God" It was the war to end all wars and became one of
the bloodiest and cruellest conflicts in history. Into the hands of
author Mark Scott came a poignant survivor of those nightmare years
- a notebook carried through the trenches by his great grandfather,
Jimmy Scott, nestled in the pocket of his uniform. In it was a list
of names, written with the tiny pencil still attached to the
fragile cover. With this family heirloom in his hand, the author
vowed to discover the stories of these men who gave their all in
the Great War. Along the way he unravelled a remarkable connection
to the story of the Unknown Warrior, unearthing valuable new
documents that detailed for the first time the full untold story of
this event - and what happened to the bodies of those not selected
for burial in Westminster Abbey in 1920 - those who, like thousands
of others, are "Known Unto God." Reading at times like a detective
story, this is the moving, often heart-breaking, account of the men
whose names Jimmy Scott carefully pencilled into his little
notebook.
