📢Important update!📢 As part of the @CWGC’s Non-Commemoration Programme, we have today published a second landmark report on commemorative activity, this time looking at the Second World War: cwgc.org/non-commemoration/2… 📷IWM (SE 1884)

What an amazing day yesterday at the AMCN Conference! Centred on the theme “The Pathway to Change,” the event strengthened connections between AMCN members and Defence organisations. It was wonderful to catch up with familiar faces and meet new ones. The room was filled with incredible people, and the energy throughout the day was truly inspiring. @Karl_R_Harris @AlastairBruce_ @Army_MCN @ArmyInstrSchool #Listen #learn #Act #inspired @BritishArmy @record_this

The @Army_MCN Conference at @RMASandhurst proved a fantastic forum to delve into what brings us together, from diverse backgrounds, to serve in @BritishArmy. Great to hear @record_this discuss @CWGC work and to catch up with fmr colleagues incl @AlastairBruce_ @annabotting

We have today published a landmark report revealing historical inequalities in how Second World War casualties from the former British Empire were commemorated. The report, titled 'Remembering the dead of the British Empire', is part of our ongoing commitment to investigate and address historical injustices in its commemorative work. Drawing on extensive archival research, the report found that while no groups were systematically excluded, the then Imperial War Graves Commission (IWGC) delivered unequal outcomes for some of the war dead. The findings highlight a number of issues that led to disparities in commemorative practices, which you can read in detail by visiting our website using the link below. 📷IWM (E 6064) Men of the King's African Rifles (KAR) collecting surrendered arms at Wolchefit Pass

I’ve had a read of the report and the historical inequalities identified, very much looking forward to the engagement strategies the @CWGC will be undertaking with partners and communities to seek meaningful ways to address this.

UK Punjab Heritage Association @UKPHA and historians @record_this Dr George Hay @CWGC & @GavinRand @UniofGreenwich launched an appeal at the Indian Army exhibition @HRP_palaces for volunteers to identify missing Punjabi casualties from the first world war using the #Punjab #WW1 recruitment registers. Special thanks to James @AStreetNearYou, @megan_maltby Public Engagement Manager @CWGC, and Indian Army PhD students @JasminAthwal and @G_AWilliams hrp.org.uk/hampton-court-pal…

This marks the beginning of a really exciting and important project that will help us identify Indian soldiers not currently commemorated by the @CWGC. Please join us if you can make it!

Research by @UniofGreenwich PhD students, @G_AWilliams & @JasminAthwal & in collaboration with @UKPHA, suggests there are thousands of Punjabi casualties missing from the @CWGC casualty database. Join us on Saturday to help find them.

I'll be with @TejpalRalmill & @record_this at @HampCourtPal on Saturday talking about the #PunjabRegisters and what they tell us about Punjab's role in the First World. Join us & learn how you can help the @CWGC identify forgotten Punjabi casualties. tinyurl.com/punjabregisters

The inauguration of our memorial in Cape Town’s Company’s Garden is underway! HRH The Princess Royal, is participating alongside the descendants of the casualties, as well as national dignitaries. The ceremony will involve praise singing, an important part of tradition.

This #WW1 archive from the @LahoreMuseum is slowing being digitised by @UKPHA enabling tens of thousands of Punjabis to research their forefathers contribution to the First World War, thanks to great partnerships with @UniofGreenwich @GavinRand @UoGHistorians @NAM_London @glynprysor @CWGC @record_this and of course @PoppyLegion @ametcalfe42 @Sathnam @Zakirabegum @aLHSikhs @_JasvirSingh @TanDhesi @PreetKGillMP @Jas_Athwal @RamblingSingh @gsjosan

Subadar-Major Bawa Singh, 23rd #Sikh Pioneers, was 1 of 128 men from Panjaur, Hoshiarpur, #Punjab who constituted 1.5 million Indian men who fought in #WW1.
