"The sons of India have already in this war shown themselves worthy of the highest respect and honour among military moh. Wherever they have foüght—in Cyrenaica, Sudan, Eritrea, Abyssinia, Syria and now latest of all in Persia—Indian divisions have played an important and distinguished part. During 1942 the armies of India with their British comrades will be fighting on a long front from the Caspian to the Nile. By doing so they will be barring ihe eastward progress of the war, thus keeping the horrors of Nazi invasion a thousand miles away from the plains of Hindustan and homes of their dear ones. This is a highly honourable task and also, as anyone can see, the best strategy. This is aqualy true whether applied to the interests of Indis or to the fortunes of the world cause now being fought out."
