EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the arrival of the Indian Expeditionary Force in Marseilles, France, in 1914. As the first world war raged on in Europe, over 130,000 Indian soldiers, including Sikhs and Gurkhas, travelled an astonishing 4500 miles from their homeland to support the Allied forces. The Indian troops, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen disembarking from a ship in this image, their weary faces reflecting the long and arduous journey they had undertaken. The soldiers are greeted by French officers and officials, marking the beginning of their involvement in the conflict. The Indian Expeditionary Force played a significant role in the First World War, serving with distinction in battles such as Neuve-Chapelle, Loos, and the Somme. The Sikh and Gurkha regiments, in particular, gained a reputation for their bravery and discipline. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the global reach and impact of the First World War, as well as the sacrifices made by soldiers from all corners of the British Empire. The arrival of the Indian troops in Marseilles marked the beginning of their long and arduous journey to the battlefields of Europe, where they would fight and die for a cause far removed from their homeland.
