Can anyone here ID this bas-relief?

The guard is wearing a fustanella kilt, which means he's probably Greek, Turkish or Albanian. I have no idea how old the photo is or where it was taken - or what the bas-relief depicts. Anyone here know?

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Athens.

I wonder why I had never seen a picture of it before. Anyway, thanks!
