• Nearly 1.5 million Indians served in World War One, fighting in all the major theatres of war from Flanders fields to the Mesopotamian oil fields of what is now Iraq. The story of Sikhs in World War One will be told through original artefacts including unpublished photographs and drawings, newspapers and comics, postcards, stunning works of art, uniforms, gallantry medals, and folk songs sung by the wives left at home. It will also feature a unique album of X-Rays of wounded Indian soldiers’ injuries generously lent by Her Majesty The Queen from the Royal Collection.
