asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the fact that no commermoration has ever been held in this country which so touched the hearts of the people as did the burial of the unknown warrior in Westminster Abbey, it is possible to record for future history the name of the individual who first publicly made this very beautiful and appropriate suggestion?

I feel sure that the individual, whoever he was, will be quite satisfied with the result of his suggestion.

Will the right hon. Gentleman accept it from me, as the individual in question, that that is so?

Was not this suggestion first made publicly by Mr. J. B. Wilson, the news editor of one of the great metropolitan dailies?
