The nearest cemetery to find burials of Indian soldiers is Bedford House cemetery. A total of 74,187 Indians died in WWI and the soldiers are long-forgotten today! The funeral rites of Hindus & Sikhs is cremation while Muslims is burial. So most of the identified Hindu and Sikh soldiers were cremated according to their rites & customs. The identified Muslim soldiers have their dedicated graves. Soldiers who were only identified as Indians (with the help of their uniform etc), also have graves that mentions 'An Indian Soldier of the Great War'. Names of missing soldiers have been inscribed in Menin Gate. This separate memorial stands beside Menin Gate for us to pay our respects to all of the fallen brave souls!
