Tfce Prince of Wales unveiled a memorial on the Downs near Brighton in memory of the Hindus and Sikhs who died in England during the war. He said: "It ia befitting that future generations should not forget that when our need was highest our Indian comrades, wflio were free men and voluntary soldierß, -were true to their Bait, and gave their lives in a quarrel of which it was enough for them to know that the enemy, were the foes of their sahibs, the Empire, and their King."
