Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldier, Military memorial in Biloxi, US.

The Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldier is a granite monument in the Confederate Veterans Cemetery at Beauvoir, Biloxi. Its two sides read "The Unknown Soldier of the Confederate States of America"; the head bears "Known but to God". The Great Seal of the Confederate States of America tops the tomb, and a stanza from Abram Joseph Ryan's poem CSA is carved at its foot.

Rick Forte of Hattiesburg found the remains in late 1979 on a battlefield of the Vicksburg Campaign; the artifacts with them showed a Confederate soldier but gave no name, unit or home. The soldier was buried in a cypress casket in the Confederate Veterans Cemetery at Beauvoir in 1980, and the tomb, inscribed "Known but to God", was dedicated on June 6, 1981. The Sons of Confederate Veterans, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Military Order of the Stars and Bars and Children of the Confederacy approved the plan.

The tomb was approved and designated by all recognized Confederate organizations: the Sons of Confederate Veterans, United Daughters of Confederacy, Military Order of the Stars and Bars and Children of the Confederacy. Its foot carries a stanza from the poem CSA by Abram Joseph Ryan, a Catholic priest and Confederate chaplain. The head reads "Known but to God".

The tomb stands in the Confederate Veterans Cemetery on the Beauvoir grounds in Biloxi, where the soldier was buried in 1980.

The head reads "Known but to God"; the two sides read "The Unknown Soldier of the Confederate States of America."

A cypress casket holding the remains lies beneath a monument bearing the Great Seal of the Confederate States of America. This unusual pairing of memorial and actual burial place gives the site a distinct presence on the grounds.
