A poignant first day on #OpWarrior: delivering our wreath plinth for the RLC’s 1915 GS Wagon, then visiting the Cavell Van at Bodiam—with a steam loco photo to finish! Tomorrow, France, retracing The Unknown Warrior’s journey home in 1920. #Remembrance

Between 8-11 November, thanks to some truly incredible support, we are creating a tribute to The Unknown Warrior in a poignant act of Remembrance for the fallen. On Sunday 8th, we will begin a special journey from the town of St Pol-sur-Ternoise in France. The journey will retrace the same route, timings and modes of transport that were used bring The Unknown Warrior home in 1920. Using a special wreath to represent him, our route will be fantastically supported by the Royal Navy’s HMS Ranger and HMS Puncher, South Eastern Railway and The Royal Logistic Corps Horse Drawn Heritage Team. On 11th November, Armistice Day, the wreath will travel on a horse drawn WW1 GS Wagon via Hyde Park Corner, Constitution Hill, past Buckingham Palace, The Mall and then after a rest at Horse Guards, will continue on Whitehall, past The Cenotaph and complete its incredible journey at Westminster Abbey where it will be laid next to the famous Tomb. There will be many highlights and highly poignant moments along the way and we have plans to capture it all in images and video. We also hope there will be a great deal of media coverage in order to share this amazing story and help us to pay our respects not only to the fallen but to the millions who have lost a loved one in service. #Remembrance #TheUnknownWarrior @JohnNicholRAF @wabbey @ArmyInLondon @DefenceHQ @theroyalparks @RoyalFamily

We are very excited to announce a special tribute to the fallen and to one man's remarkable desire to ensure that bereaved families would have somewhere to honour those with no known grave. Between 7–11 November 2026, The Veterans Charity will undertake an extraordinary tribute to The Unknown Warrior and the man who conceived the idea, honouring all those who have fallen in service and the families who have carried the weight of their loss. We will retrace his poignant journey home in November 1920, following the same route from northern France to Westminster Abbey, by road, sea, rail and horse-drawn wagon. Our journey will take us: -By road from Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise to Boulogne. -By sea across the Channel on board a Royal Navy vessel. -By Southeastern Rail to London Victoria Station. -By a WW1 horse-drawn GS Wagon to Westminster Abbey. There, on 11 November, our tribute will culminate in a special wreath-laying service which will be presided over by the Canon-in-Residence. We are extremely proud to be working with the Royal Logistic Corps Horse-Drawn Heritage Team and serving Royal Navy personnel, whose generous support is helping us bring this remarkable act of Remembrance to life. Four wreaths will be at the heart of our tribute, representing the unidentified fallen servicemen brought from the battlefields to a temporary chapel in St-Pol in 1920. From those four, one was selected to become The Unknown Warrior. In a symbolic recreation of that selection, one of our wreaths will be chosen to make the journey to Westminster Abbey. The remaining three will undertake their own special journeys to Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland, to be laid at national war memorials in Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh respectively — honouring the fallen of each nation. The Scottish wreath’s journey will continue beyond Edinburgh in a deeply personal tribute to the Reverend David Railton, the Army chaplain whose vision gave us the Grave of The Unknown Warrior. It will travel to Fort William to honour him near the site of the railway accident that tragically claimed his life in 1955, before continuing to his grave in North Ballachulish, where it will be laid in gratitude and remembrance. We will be filming each stage of the journey, sharing its story and some of its most poignant moments so that you can follow this tribute with us. Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone helping make it possible: the Mayor and community of St-Pol-sur-Ternoise; the Royal Logistic Corps Horse-Drawn Heritage Team and The Royal Logistic Corps RHQ; the Royal Navy crews of HMS ******* and HMS *******; St James's Park; The Army in London - HQ London District; South Eastern Railway; Network Rail ; Kent And East Sussex Steam Railway; and the Dean and staff at Westminster Abbey. Every mile will honour a life lost. Every wreath will carry a promise to remember. Lest We Forget. #routesofremembrance
