Friends of the Indian Soldiers Memorial

The Friends of the Indian Soldiers Memorial is a group dedicated to preserving the history of the Indian Memorial Obelisk in Barton on Sea. The group works closely with New Milton Town Council, hosting an Annual Act of Remembrance on 10 July each year, in a ceremony to commemorate the unveiling of the Obelisk on 10 July 1917.

The Friends Group is incorporated into the Milton Heritage Society who seek to research and promote the history of the Indian Army in the New Forest during World War 1. The important contribution of the Indian Soldiers should not be forgotten.
