This week Remembrance Day ceremonies were held all across Europe, but one special ceremony was performed for the Indian soldiers who gave their lives to the first and second world wars.

Seventeen Indian veterans, mostly from Ontario, revisited the European battle fields in remembrance of the soldiers who they say have been forgotten.

Indian veterans held special burial ceremonies for their departed comrades and placed eagle feathers in the branches of trees that overlook the cemetary where many fallen Indian soldiers are buried.
