The Grande Mosquée de Paris was built as a tribute to the Muslim soldiers who fought for France in World War I. Within the mosque, there is a beautiful courtyard garden filled with various plants, including the enchanting wisteria which blooms every spring… A thread…
Over a million Indian troops fought in the British India Army during the Great War (1914-1918). I've cleaned this autochrome of Sikh & Muslim soldiers from the Punjab, taken in France 106 years ago by Jean-Baptiste Tournassoud. It is original colour from 1917 and not colourised.
Great start to the day at the Arras Cemetery, paying respect to the @MuslimsinWW1 @SikhsAtWar and Muslims before heading off for a subterranean adventure at Carriere Wellington. Then down to the Somme.
Wednesday at 2.45pm BST @MCRSociology, I’ll be discussing my book, Commemorating Muslims in the First World War Centenary: Making Melancholia, with @MLatchoumaya. It’s a hybrid event, and all are welcome—DM me for the zoom link!
We are pleased to announce the return of the FWW battlefield visit for 2023. Open to Year 8-12, the opportunity to visit the sites of the war, a war that shaped 20th/21st Ct. In association with @AngliaTours where the A* service is standard! @KewHouseSchool #outdoorlearning
Totally heartbroken to hear the news of #LordSheikh, who passed away today. He was an outstanding businessman, philanthropist, community leader, politician and a humble soul. What a sad day! He championed Muslims in the @UKHouseofLords. May his soul rest in peace. Amen
Lord Sheikh had a strong affinity with the Sikh community and championed many Sikh causes. I met him at the Chattri Memorial Service in Brighton this year where he told me of his vision to commemorate Muslim soldiers who had fought in WW1 & WW2. R.I.P.

I’m incredibly saddened at the passing of @The_Lord_Sheikh. A tireless advocate for the Muslim community, interfaith issues, refugees and the environment. This is a great loss. I hope his dream of erecting a monument to Muslims soldiers who fell for the allies will be realised
I am saddened to learn that Lord Mohamed Sheikh has passed away. As a newly elected MP, he was supportive of me. Earlier this year he asked me to speak at his book launch in the House of Lords which I was delighted to do. He will be missed by many.
It is with great sadness today that we announce the passing of our beloved Founder & President, Lord Sheikh... Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi rajioon. May Allah swt grant him the highest rank in Jannat. @HouseofCommons @Conservatives @UKParliament

Brothers in arms in #WW1… Wondering what their grandchildren are thinking….
Did you know that in #WW1 of the 619,636 Canadian soldiers at least 35,612 were American citizens by birth? And did you know 5.000 Muslims served with the American Forces?
A massive amount of #WW1 Muslim soldiers buried in France. St Severe Cemetery. We will remember them.
#WW1 Muslim sacrifices. Not forgotten.
Do you know that in 2026 #Lent & #Ramadan will start on the same day? #Christians & #Muslims will fast together. Something to pencil in your agenda and make it a special occasion.

Lord Mohamed Sheikh passes away Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon. The 81-year-old British politician and businessman Mohamed Iltaf Sheikh, Baron Sheikh of Cornhill has died. Our prayers and thoughts are with his family.
Totally heartbroken to hear the news of #LordSheikh, who passed away today. He was an outstanding businessman, philanthropist, community leader, politician and a humble soul. What a sad day! He championed Muslims in the @UKHouseofLords. May his soul rest in peace. Amen
Lord Sheikh had a strong affinity with the Sikh community and championed many Sikh causes. I met him at the Chattri Memorial Service in Brighton this year where he told me of his vision to commemorate Muslim soldiers who had fought in WW1 & WW2. R.I.P.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Lord Sheikh – a former co-chair of the APPG on Hate Crime. Lord Sheikh was a dedicated philanthropist and community leader. (1/2)
I’m incredibly saddened at the passing of @The_Lord_Sheikh. A tireless advocate for the Muslim community, interfaith issues, refugees and the environment. This is a great loss. I hope his dream of erecting a monument to Muslims soldiers who fell for the allies will be realised

Brothers in arms in #WW1… Wondering what their grandchildren are thinking….
Did you know that in #WW1 of the 619,636 Canadian soldiers at least 35,612 were American citizens by birth? And did you know 5.000 Muslims served with the American Forces?
A message from the past? #WW1 soldiers calling for @YusufChambers ?
#WW1 Muslim sacrifices. Not forgotten.
On #RemembranceDay2021 it's worth watching this final scene from Blackadder 4 again. One of the greatest portrayals of war I have seen. We watched this fantastic series endlessly in the run up to the Gulf War in 1991. But this particular scene.... only once.
While researching the Great War for a new book, I've discovered the sheer number of descendants, originally from undivided Punjab, who have little to no information about ancestors who fought. They may have a name, a village, a medal, but not much else 1/ bit.ly/3C39119
As someone who has served as a regular #soldier, now serving as a #reservist & as a battlefield guide #remembranceis part of who I am. Today I will be proudly wearing my medals in my @AngliaTours uniform. Always emotional today! #RemembranceDay2021 #WeWillRememberThem
This is my 1000th tweet mainly on the fallen officers from the 1st July 1916, all information can be found in my book. I hope you are enjoying the tweets and thank you for following me. My first tweet was back in May! Paul Reed @sommecourt was first to reply May 23rd.
1915, somewhere in France- a group of Jodhpur Imperial Service Lancers Officers. My grandfather Capt Aman Singh Jodha, OBI, IOM is standing 7th from right.
The first one is almost ready to go to print! These @GreatWarGroup introductions are going to be great value at about 100pgs each on a variety of topics. @Colin_A_Fisher has done an amazing job. I’m a poetry phillistine but at least now an educated one! greatwargroup.com/shop

@MuslimsinWW1 @churchill_alex What a great book! Beautifully illustrated and I’m sure I’ll be looking to read more on this.
