Over a million Indian soldiers fought in the First World War, the largest force from the colonies and dominions. Their contribution, however, has been largely forgotten. Many soldiers were illiterate and traveled from remote villages in India to fight in the muddy trenches in France and Flanders. Many went on to win the highest bravery awards.
