The eleventh of November, Armistice Day, is observed in many Commonwealth countries to commemorate the end of World War One in 1918. It's a time to remember all those who gave their lives in service to their country since 1914. Now military files dating back a century, left unread for most of that time, have been unearthed by a British historian. Amandeep Madra, whose team has digitised the archive to make it available online, uncovered soldiers’ stories – including that of his own great uncle - that have been forgotten by many of their descendants until now.

"Punjabis are descended from Indo-Aryan peoples, who arrived from Kazakhstan to modern-day India.
However, they have a larger portion of Scythian DNA than any other Indo-Aryan people. This is because, Scythians were kicked out by the Yuezhi somewhere in the 2nd century, so they migrated to Northern India, where they settled and ruled over them."

Armistice Day, may it be remember for many millenniums to come. Let us forgive the sins of the past and remember to find solutions without war in the future. W/WIII is something no one wants to see.
