A look at some forgotten sacrifices in the West that's best seen in it's entirety here:
I myself was unaware of the over 1 million soldiers from British ruled India that served in WWI.

I found out this fact only last year when I searched a bit for WW1 history when I was looking for old World War 1 pics online after seeing some Indian soldiers in Wonder Woman movie (thanks to Patty) , which is set around that period. This is a part of history that is often neglected for some reason, even in India. (speaking as an Indian here.)
