Was lovely to be shown around the #IndianArmy exhibition at #HamptonCourtPalace today by Tej Pal Singh Ralmill Such wonderful stories that should be better known. Thank you for making this happen. Indian soldiers were based at the Palace in 1902, 1911 and 1919, camping in the grounds.

Fascinating discussion about the role of commemoration as a tool of diplomacy and influence particularly in a era of shifting political alliances. Director General Commonwealth War Graves Claire Horton CBE emphasised the importance of partnerships and mentioned the #Punjab #WW1 registers

Undivided India provided the world’s largest ever volunteer army during the Second World War. This should be a fascinating talk. #LestWeForgetIndia #WW2 #LestWeForget #VEDay

Last night I witnessed a stunning display of poppys at The Tower of London which was a metaphor for the damage the #Tower of London Historic Royal Palaces sustained during the bombing during #WW2. It's important to remember the sacrifices made by all of those who came before us.

Each year the Chattri Memorial in Brighton hosts people of different faiths from across the UK to commemorate the contributions of the Indian Army who served in WWI. We are proud to support the service ensuring the sacrifices of those from the Commonwealth are never forgotten.
