Letter to an Unknown Soldier is an online memorial commissioned as part of the 1418 Now cultural programme to commemorate the centenary of World War I.
The project, founded by writers Neil Bartlett and Kate Pullinger, was inspired by Charles Sargeant Jagger's statue of an anonymous First World War soldier reading a letter, which stands on platform one in London's Paddington station.
