More than 100,000 Indians fought for France in 1914. Ten thousand never returned. They set foot on the soil of Marseille before fighting in the mud of the trenches, unaware that they were marching to their deaths.
Their sacrifice binds France and India forever.

At Mazargues War Cemetery, we paid homage to the brave souls who embodied valour and sacrifice. Their courage in distant lands and unwavering duty to a greater cause will forever be remembered.

We sit on opposite sides of the House of Commons. But today, 1,000 days since Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, we have one clear message:
The UK is united for Ukraine. Slava Ukraini. 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Joined by friends and colleagues from the international community, @ARM_mil_mk 🇲🇰 and @DefenceHQ 🇬🇧 veterans, we remembered those who died here in #WW1 and more recent conflicts.

…and the second tremendous talk in two days, this one by @LawDavF at the @BEARRTweets annual lecture. Just brilliant.
Tremendous talk by the two authors on their book about the grotesque phenomenon that was Prigozhin. @MarkGaleotti @scrawnya

Last week I visited the church of St Archangel Michael in #Skopje with my colleague from @SRBinNMacedonia.
We thanked Father Ivan for his support to the final resting place of so many Serbian 🇷🇸 & British 🇬🇧 soldiers buried there and paid our respects.

A short break between meetings in #Skopje 🇲🇰 gave me a chance to check in on the only @CWGC 🇬🇧 graveyard in #NorthMacedonia - it was in great condition, despite the heat ☀️!
Both civilians and soldiers are honoured here.

Russian military casualties in May and June this year averaged more than 1,000 a day.
Higher than at any other point in the war so far.
Poorly trained Russian soldiers are being used as cannon fodder in an attempt to overwhelm strong Ukrainian defences.

418 officers and 10,282 soliders who died as part of the British Salonika Force 🇬🇧 during #WW1 have their memorial just south of Dojran in 🇬🇷.
Thank you @CWGC 🙏🏼 for keeping their final resting place in such beautiful condition.

A classroom of schoolchildren enjoyed the ultimate history lesson today, as we work to ensure younger generations never forget the message of D-Day.

Work has commenced on our Cape Town Labour Corps Memorial to commemorate Black South African servicemen who perished in the First World War.
The ground breaking ceremony in Cape Town's Company's Garden, marked the beginning of the first Memorial created and funded by the CWGC in response to previous inequalities in commemoration after the First World War report.

You can't hold elections in someone else's country.
Russia's sham "elections" in Ukraine are a shameful attempt to legitimise its baseless claims to sovereign Ukrainian territory.
