ARLINGTON CEMETERY The Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers
1. "How many steps does the guard take during his
walk across the tomb of the Unknowns" and why?
Daithi. I'd guess 21, because it is the same as the 21 gun salute
2. How long does he hesitate after his about face
to begin his return walk and why?
Daithi. 21 seconds? Same reason.
3. Why are his gloves wet?
Issybird. For a better grip
4. Does he carry his rifle on the same shoulder all
the time and, if not, why not?
Issybird. Outside shoulder? Switching would give a reason for those wet gloves....
Tie score between Daithi and Issybird. #5 could be the tie-breaker!
5. How often are the guards changed?
