Gateways to the First World War's 2015 annual lecture will be presented by Dr Glyn Prysor, Chief Historian for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
More than 1 million Indians served overseas during the First World War. They 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. This talk will explore their wartime experiences and reflect on how they are remembered today.
Venue: The Old Courtroom, 118 Church Street Brighton
Doors open at 5.30pm.
Tickets are free but spaces are limited and should be booked in advance. Reserve your place here.
