The French Embassy on Tuesday hosted the screening of 'The Forgotten Army', a documentary by Delhi-based journalist Mandakini Gahlot which explores India's historic participation in World War I.
Led by military historian Rana Chhina of the United Service Institution of India, the film traverses from rural Punjab, where descendants recall stories of ancestors long gone, to the battlefields of France and Belgium.
Speaking on the occasion, Alexandre Ziegler, Ambassador of France to India, said, "In this year marking the centenary of the Armistice of World War I, we all pay tribute to these valiant men who came from all parts of India to fight for our freedom."
