Indian soldiers stand alongside British Tommies at Hampton Court Palace

A new art installation commemorating fallen soldiers and victims of war across the globe has gone on display at Hampton Court Palace.

The artwork consists of around 100 specially made silhouettes, including those that represent Indian soldiers that camped at Hampton Court after the First World War.

More than one million Indian soldiers served in the First World War, volunteering to fight alongside their British counterparts.

• Remembrance: 100-plus 'Tommy' silhouettes installed on Falkland Islands
• LGBT+ veterans stripped of medals for being gay to get them back by Remembrance Sunday
• Field of Remembrance opens at National Memorial Arboretum

Fifty thousand of them lost their lives on the western front alone.

When the First World War was over, they were invited to take part in the Peace Celebrations in London.

The new 'Standing With Giants' display of life-size silhouettes aims to highlight the little-known story of the Indian troops' visit to London after the Great War.
