WW Memorials in Belgium

Some interesting facts that I learnt:
Chemical weapons were used for the first time by Germans against allied forces in Belgium. I was shocked to see the number of indian soldiers who fought and died for the british army! You can see their names on many of the WW monuments in and around Ieper,Belgium.

Hey - Indian soldiers were everywhere...at least wherever the British were.
Come to Cyprus and you will be amazed to see the number of Indian soldiers who fought and died there for the British.

The real question is... Is our blood worth all the wonderful technological advances G.B. gifted us (like the Railway)? People like you like to see only the negative about England and never look at what they did for us.
