REMEMBERING THE FORGOTTEN
More than 1.4 million soldiers from the British Indian Army served across global battlefields during the First World War, forming one of the largest all-volunteer forces in history.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission said soldiers from pre-Partition India were omitted due to historical oversight. Their names have been restored through the five-year Punjab Registers Project, led in partnership with the UK Punjab Heritage Association and the University of Greenwich.
