You're standing beneath the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Look down. Inside a ring of black posts linked by chains lies a granite slab. Beneath it rests a French soldier who was killed in the First World War and whose name nobody knows. He stands for every soldier who has died for France.
