New Delhi: The Indian soldiers' valour as displayed in 1918 during first World War to free the Israeli city of Haifa was remembered in Australia on Tuesday.
On Sep 23, 1918 Indian soldiers of two elite army units from Jodhpur and Mysore, in a heroic battle with Ottomans, liberated the port city of Haifa.
"The Indian horsemen armed with just spears and swords attacked Ottoman army and defeated their artillery guns on Mount Carmel. The action of the Indian troops has been vividly recorded in the official history of the war," said Balesh Singh Dhankhar, president of Overseas Friends of Bharatiya Janata Party, Australia and national interfaith coordinator, Hindu Council of Australia on this occasion.
Speaking to IANS over phone, Dhankar said the historical day was organised by the Hindu Council of Australia and New South Wales (NSW) Jewish Board Deputies, an umbrella organisation of All Jewish Community Organisations in NSW, Australia. On this occasion, a book titled "India and Israel together for 2,000 Years" of V. Ravi Kumar was presented to Vic Alhadeff, CEO NSW Jewish Board of Deputies.
