The Indian Army began the war, in 1939, numbering just under 200,000 men. By the end of the war it had become the largest volunteer army in history, rising to over 2.5 million men in August 1945. Serving in divisions of infantry, armour and a fledgling airborne force, they fought on three continents in Africa, Europe and Asia.

“War means fighting, and fighting means killing.” Does war not mean remembering all equally who took part in it? Rest in Peace and respect to you all.
