"...the Unknown Soldier may not have gone to heaven at all if he had not been baptised and affiliated with a church."

Well, if reported accurately, I guess that means the chaplain's answer to the question "What must I do to be saved?" would be "Get baptized, and become affiliated with a church."

In contrast to the Bible's answer.

Then he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" 31 And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family.
(Acts 16:30-33 -- preaching Christ, leading to saving faith, attested by baptism)

None of us are fit to judge another's eternal state. Christ was crucified between two thieves, one of which He told, "This day you will be with me in paradise."

God is longsuffering and there is hope until the last breath. Only God can judge a man's thoughts. I believe many of us will be surprised at who is in Heaven and who isn't.
