On Platform One of Paddington Station in London, there's a statue of an ordinary soldier in battle dress, reading a letter. 'Letter to an unknown soldier', is a new kind of war memorial, one made only of words. It is a First World War Centenary project created by writers Neil Bartlett and Kate Pullinger and commissioned by 14-18 NOW. Young people were encouraged to take part, to write a letter to that soldier and offer their own voice to this memorial. At the end of the project, the entire collection was archived online at The British Library and kept for generations to come. (Entries finished on August 4th 2014).
