Could we have a memorial for the South African soldiers who fought in both world wars?

Ai! Same

One of the most notable members of the Special Operations Executive (the forerunner of the current intelligence services) in WW2 was a Sufi Muslim woman, Noor Inayat Khan. She was captured in France, tortured and executed at Dachau. She is absolutely a war hero and deservedly awarded the highest civilian honour, the George Cross. We remember our war dead ...but let's face it, this plan is appeasement. There were Muslims on both sides in both wars, just as there were Christians on both sides. Let's not pretend that there is any connection between the religion and which side people fought on.

Noor Inayat Khan would want to be remembered as an Indian woman, a descendant of the brave Tipu Sultan of Mysore. Tipu was also an ally of the American Revolution, and fought with Col. Arthur Wellesley, the later Duke of Wellington.

This is not about honouring soldiers. It is about reinforcing the myth that diversity built Britain.

"Every Anzac Day since 2011, marchers have assembled at the foot of Anzac Parade leading to the Australian War Memorial (AWM). Participants have commemorated those Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who gave their lives defending their homelands from the incursions of British and other colonists from 1788, when the First Fleet arrived in what we now call Sydney. Although not permitted to join Anzac Day veterans commemorating the fallen of overseas wars in which Australians have participated, Frontier Wars marchers hope that one day the AWM and Australians generally will accept colonial frontier conflicts as befitting official recognition as part of Australia’s war history."

Why do we have to celebrate a certain race or religion. Why not a memorial for everyone. And teaching people that a memorial for people who fort in the second world war represents people of all colour and race? My grand father fort in the second world war. He's black. But don't feel like we have to say yh he's a statue for black people I'm more than happy to just say everyone who fort are heros

Among the Punjabis, 80% are Muslims, where Pathan and Baloch are nearly 99.9% Muslims. There were also Rajputs, Gurkhas, and Bengalis (70% of Bengalis are Muslims) but in total Muslims were the bulk of the British Indian army.

This is exactly why honoring soldiers for anything but being soldiers is a bad idea. It only invites countless "what about's", and creates animosity and hard feelings. They were all soldiers.

The majority of them served in Burmha, alongside other British Army regiments and my great grandad, fighting the Japanese. They also fought against Rommel in Africa, playing a key part in the Battle of Alamein, as well as other actions. The British Indian Army also served in Italy, being the third largest Allied army, behind the British and American. 2.4 million Indians, of which 40% were Muslim, volunteered to fight for Britain in the Second World War, and we would do well to remember that, something the memorial seeks to do.
