EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - Indian soldiers marching through France during the First World War. Taken around 1920, this image showcases a Sikh regiment proudly donning their traditional turbans and headdresses as they make their way forward. During the war, over one million Indian troops served in the British Indian Army, fighting across various theaters of war including Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. The immense sacrifice made by these brave soldiers is evident from the staggering numbers - at least 74,187 lost their lives while another 67,000 were wounded. The photograph is sourced from "The Great World War - A History". Volume I edited by Frank A Mumby and published by The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd in London. It serves as a poignant reminder of India's contribution to the conflict that engulfed nations worldwide. In this image, we witness men armed with rifles marching together with determination etched on their faces. Their presence symbolizes not only their commitment to defending their country but also represents an alliance between Britain and its colonies during those tumultuous times. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the bravery and resilience displayed by these Indian soldiers who fought for freedom far away from home. Their legacy continues to inspire generations today as we honor their sacrifices on behalf of our shared humanity.
