Dr Glyn Prysor will explain how Indians played a vital role in the British Empire’s war effort, from the Western Front to the Middle East and Africa.
Some 60,000 lost their lives, and their graves and memorials can be found from Brighton to Basra. The talk will explore their wartime experiences and reflect on how they are remembered today.
