INDIA’S DEAD.
memorial to war heroes. PRINCE OF WALES’ TRIBUTE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Feb. 2, 5.5 p.m. London. Feb. 1. The Prince of Wales unveiled a memorial on the Downs, near Brighton, in memory of Hindus and Sikhs who died for England during the war. The Prince said it was befitting that future generations should not forget that when our need was highest our Indian comrades, who were free men and voluntary soldiers, were true to their salt, and gave their lives in a quarrel of which it was enough for them to know that the enemy were foes of their sahibs, the Empire, and their King. The Prince recalled the fact that a memorial to Mohammedan soldiers was being erected at Woking. “These two memorials,” he added, “will strengthen the ties between India jind Britain.”—Aus.N.Z.
