Afternoon Play: The Silence of Memory

on BBC Radio 4 FM

By Tina Pepler. On 11 November 1920 the unknown warrior was buried in Westminster
Abbey- a surrogate body for all those whose loved ones were missing, presumed dead. At the funeral, and ever since, the focus has been on the widows and bereaved mothers. This drama follows three men - a demobbed soldier, a grieving father and a young boy - on the day of the funeral as they try to come to terms with their loss. Director
