History Thru The Lens
Welcome to my blog site!
My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Unknown Soldiers
In a ceremony pictured aboard the USS Canberra on May 20, 1958, the selection of the World War II Unknown Serviceman and the Korean War Unknown Serviceman is taking place. The Korean War Unknown is in the center casket, while the two World War II candidates are on either side. The Korean War Unknown and the World War II Unknown on the far right were selected and taken to Arlington National Cemetery for internment. The other World War II Unknown Serviceman was buried at sea.
