#AnzacDay 2024
#LestWeForget

Supervised by me and George Hay, the project will make a major contribution to addressing historical inequalities in the commemoration of colonial soldiers. More info & application details here: docs.gre.ac.uk/rep/communicat…. 4/10.

The Commonwealth War Graves Doctoral Scholarship will examine what the #PunjabRegisters tell us about the commemoration and non-commemoration of South Asian soldiers after the First World War. cwgc.org/our-work/news/… 3/10.

This is an incredibly exciting development and super opportunity. The work will feed into Commonwealth War Graves's ongoing non-commemoration programme and will play an important part in changing the way we remember the dead.

Please share widely and get in contact if you have questions!

A rare opportunity of two fully funded History PhD scholarships, the chance to explore a newly rediscovered archive and to work with fantastic scholars Gavin Rand and George Hay
