The Cenotaph

War Memorial

Whitehall
Westminster
London SW1

The Cenotaph, in Whitehall, London, is probably the most famous cenotaph in the modern world. Originally erected in 1919 for the Allied Victory Parade, the monument is undecorated except for a carved wreath on two ends and the words "The Glorious Dead." Uniformed persons always salute the Cenotaph when passing it and every year, a national service is held at the Cenotaph at 11 a.m. on Remembrance Sunday, the closest Sunday to November 11th (Armistice Day).
