unknown soldiers
Anonymous war dead
Unknown soldiers are unidentified military personnel killed in war, typically buried in commemorative tombs that serve as national memorials.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier honors all who died without being identified.
The phrase extends metaphorically to anyone who contributes anonymously to a cause: the unknown soldiers of the civil rights movement.
