I esteem the Unknown Soldier was a man because women did not fight in combat in World War I. I think the Soldier was very young in his twenties, tall and strong. He belie to be fearless but was very scared in battle. He fought for what he believed in. 4. We know that the Unknown Soldier was a young Canadian man, fought in World War I and fought at Vimy Ridge. 5. No I do not think that the Soldier should be identified. The Unknown Soldier is meant to be symbolic.It represents all Canadian Soldiers who fought for this Country. Once identified it becomes specific and does not represent everybody, There would be no neighboring(a) family members alive who would benefit from this information. 6. The Unknown Soldier symbolizes the Canadian service people who sacrificed their lives in the cause of pea ce and freedom whether they be navy, army, air force or merchant marine and who died or may die for their country in all conflicts past, present, and future.
