Included in admision price
Remembering the contribution of the pre-partition Indian Army in the Second World War.
The Forgotten Army Touring Exhibition is a collaboration between the Royal British Legion and British Future, highlighting the diverse, multi-faith South Asian contributions made during the Second World War.
Featuring a bronze sculpture created by leading artist Mahtab Hussain, the exhibition is raising awareness of a legacy too often forgotten.
2.5 million soldiers served in the pre-partition Indian Army, including Gurkhas, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Christians and Indian women. The sculpture depicts five figures in uniform, representing the diverse nature of this Army.
