Huge numbers of servicemen from across then Undivided India served during the two world wars. Indian forces played vital roles in almost every theatre of war, including the Western Front and Gallipoli in the First World War, and North Africa and the Pacific theatre in the second. More than 160,000 Indians are commemorated in our cemeteries and memorials. Tell us their stories.
