The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Lebanon commemorates Lebanese soldiers who served and died during the French Mandate of Lebanon from 1920 to 1943;[1] of the Legion of the Orient[2] (a unit formed by the French in 1916, during World War I)[3][4] and its successor the Army of the Levant. The tomb also represents the forming and independence of the Lebanese Armed Forces from the French Army in 1943.[1] The cenotaph in the middle includes a Cedrus libani tree surrounded by a laurel; the main symbol of Roman legions. Around the cedar tree and laurel reads in Arabic : "Glory and Immortality for our Martyred Heroes". Behind the cenotaph are original Roman columns that date back to the time of the Roman Empire.
