country.”
War In its very nature is a trag­
edy, but saddest of all things con­
nected with war Is the tragedy of the
unknown dead.
For some soldiers
war means moments of exaltation in
the knowledge of a sacrifice worth
while, of heroism which will send his
name ringing down the years and of
tender care of the poor shell of his
body after the spirit hns fled. But to
others It means privation, pain, the
same exaltation, the same heroism
but with it death, his name forgot­
ten, and only a headstone murked
“Unknown” to show where this bit
of human wreckage was consigned
to Mother Earth.
Considering the vast armies which
the United States put into the field
In the World war, there was a sur­
prisingly small number of unknown
deud. Of approximately 40,000 Amer­
icans killed#in that conflict only 4,-
000 were Hated as "unknown” at the
time the body of one of them was
selected for the nation’s highest hon­
ors to be buried In Arlington as "The
Unknown Soldier.” Since that time
persistent investigation has cut down
the number until now the War de­
partment reports something over 1,-
600 still listed as unidentified.
The reason for the smallness of
the list of unknown dead In this war
lies In the simple little aluminum
identification tags which each man in
the A. E. F. wore. Two of these tags,
each about the size of a silver half
dollar, were worn around the neck,
one suspended from the other. On
each of these was stamped, in the
case of an officer, his name, rank nnd
regiment, corps or department, and
In the case of tlie enlisted man, his
name and serial, number.
Ef the
weurer was killed one tag wns burled
with him and the other wns usually
attached to the cross at the head of
his grave. Whenever practicable a
cemetery was established near every
battlefield and each grave was marked
with a temporary headboard giving
the name, rank and name of the or­
ganization of the man buried there.
The company officer was made respon­
sible for this and he was required to
furnish the War department with a
sketch map of the graves.
In contrast to the small number
of unknown dead In the World war,
the record of the Civil war Is appall­
ing. There are eighty-three national
cemeteries In this country where are
buried 393,714 Union soldiers. Of this
number the graves of 153,414 are
marked "Unknown!” These totals in­
clude those who died In hospitals
where Identities would have been
easily established. In the haste with
which the country plunged Into the
Civil war no system for identification
of the killed was adopted. After a bat­
tle searching parties gathered up the
wounded and burled the dead In hast­
ily dug pits. Since this work was
usually done at night, these detach­
ments overlooked many of the casual­
ties. Then the army marched nway
leaving these bodies to keep their
lonely “bivouac of the dead.”
After the Civil war was over, the
federal government undertook the
task of making a systematic search
for the Union dead on many of the
Civil war battlefields. Hundreds of
skeletons were found but there was
no mark of identification.
It was
such “unknown dead” as these who
sleep beneath the memorial In Ar­
lington. And they are only a few of
the unknown there. In 1872 the War
department marked 18,000 graves in
that cemetery with little marble
headstones and of this number 4,000
bear the simple word "Unknown I"
The Civil war was not the only one
which added to the long roll of miss­
ing men. soldiers who gave their lives
for their country and of whom no
trace now remains. Their last resting
places, unmarked, are scattered far
and wide over the United State»—In
the West, where Indian bullet and
lance took their toll, as well as on
the battlefields of the South. Memorial
Day Is a day for honoring the4r mem­
ory, too, and the tomb of the Unknown
Soldier In Arlington, before which in
spirit, at least, all Americans bow
their heads In reverence on Memorial
Day Is a monument to all American
soldiers who fought for the preserva­
tion of this “government of the peo­
ple, for the people and by the peo­
