Remembrance Sunday - remembering all those who have lost their lives during war. My current town is known as the "Home of the British Army” and is a military town so many places to reflect today and pay tribute. #remembrancesunday #lestweforget🌹 #worldwarheroes https://www.instagram.com/p/CWPJ64NIzG2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Stunning Diamonte Gold Plated Hindu Poppy Brooch Cake Pin @Onlinesikhstore The Forgotten Heroes Hindus are commonly distinguished as weak so therefore poor soldiers, yet they had been involved in fighting wars for others more than themselves. Among the first foreign forces were Hindus to fight for British on the Western front. In the war, India had hugely supported the British in most areas, these including: Politically, economically and also in military. At a time when majority of Indians were suffering from poverty and malnourishment, they gifted 100 million pounds for them to participate and strengthen the British in war. The support was in exchange also for the British’s understanding in giving India independence, which the British were in no hurry to fulfil. In total, approximately 1,338, 620 Hindus participated in the war. This number easily totals the number of army force from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa by 178,000. Hindu soldiers were involved in lands as diverse as, Palestine, France, Syria and Mesopotamia. Some historians say that it was the Hindu army which changed the course of the war by turning German soldiers at Marne. Hundreds of Thousands of Hindu soldiers lost their lives and no hero’s welcome awaited the survivors. In the first World War, the Indian corps won 13,000 medals and 12 Victoria crosses and this is something that deserves broad recognition around the globe. It was Indian jawans (junior soldiers) who stopped the German advance at Ypres in the autumn of 1914, soon after the war broke out, while the British were still recruiting and training their own forces. Hundreds were killed in a gallant but futile engagement at Neuve Chappelle. More than 1,000 of them died at Gallipoli, thanks to Churchill's folly. Nearly 700,000 Indian sepoys (infantry privates) fought in Mesopotamia against the Ottoman Empire, Germany's ally, many of them Indian Muslims taking up arms against their co-religionists in defence of the British Empire. #allah #poppy #rememberanceday #worldwar1and2 #worldwarheroes #muslim #Islamic #allahbrooch #allahpoppy #muslimsoldiers #sikhkhanda #khandapoppy #omkhanda #hindu #British #britishindia #martyr (at Online Sikh Store) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVUZrfKMcIq/?utm_medium=tumblr
