And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Sikh soldiers of 29th Indian Infantry Brigade in a trench during the Battle of Gallipoli 1915
Very often see old war time pictures and wonder if the subject of them made it.
ReplyDeleteThinking the same thing. If they survived, I wonder if their descendants know of this photo?
DeleteI's a good thing Alec B. didn't get his mitts on one of those Enfields or the whole set of "Rust" could have been laid to waste.
ReplyDeleteYou'll note, these "uneducated" soldiers knew enough to not point the gun at the camera.
DeleteA seriously bad bunch of soldiers when they put their mind to it.
ReplyDeleteSikh and Destroy?
ReplyDeleteThat Battle sucked for British, it likely didn't go well for them.
