A remarkable film made in 1919 of Indian veterans of the trenches at the Cenotaph - built to commemorate all who died fighting for Britain in #WW1 including Indians - as Londoners watched on, and afterwards at Buckingham Palace #RememberTogether #LestWeForget
With you in our thoughts, & wonderful to hear how the Crater’s presence on the Somme is a continuing circle inspiring Respect, Remembrance & Reconciliation for all who find their way to you – at Lewisham, London

#OTD 105 yrs ago at 11pm the 6th Bav. Res. Div. was ordered to take Wijtschate. A few hours later soldiers of the 17th and 21th Bavarian Res. Inf. Reg. would silently launch their assault. Rifles unloaded, bayonets fixed. For both regiments it was to be their baptism of fire.

And it meant the world to have some of the #partitionvoices interviewees and their families there too. There would be no book without them.
So thrilled to hear this & glad you were there to lay this wreath recognising the sacrifice of the huge army from Undivided India. – at Lewisham, London
