I have a file of letters which contains correspondence with David Dimbleby and others.
David Dimbleby says "I mention the Indians when the High Commissioner lays the wreath." Well there are over 50 High Commissioners from the Commonwealth who lay wreaths and their names are all mentioned which means that every name takes less than 30 seconds.
Some of those didn't provide any men and some very few. So there we are with one and half million in the First War and two and a half million in the Second War, not conscripted - volunteers and we can't expect a proper acknowledgement.
To me this is very hurtful.
