Indian soldiers In Mesopotamia, 1918, during World War I. As other soldiers run for the cover of slit trenches, an Indian Lewis gun team engage an enemy aircraft. [1600x912]
Many countries used improvised anti aircraft defenses in WWI. Austro Hungarian troops, for example, mounted machine guns to wagon wheels on vertical posts.
I live in Bangalore, and every time I visit Brigade Road I see the World War 1 memorial with names of soldiers/officers inscribed in English, Hindi and Tamil. I wonder what their lives were like, and how different my life would have been if I were living in that era.
