Sunday, June 6, 2010 Brave sons of India There is a lone memorial at Neuve Chapelle in France, built to honour more than 4,700 Indian soldiers, who died during World War 1. http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100606/spectrum/main3.htm --- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar

Dear Harsha There were a heck of a lot more than 4, 700 Indians who died in France and Flanders, at Neuve Chapelle, Givenchy and Ginchy... And the bulk of them were in summer (cotton) uniforms. God Bless them (and all the other nationalities), poor boys...
