Army
before and after Partition
At the time of Partition of the
country on August 15, 1947, the British Indian Army was split
into the Indian Army and the Pakistan Army. This created a
“divide” between the two armies, which had fought in unison
during both World Wars, made unparalleled sacrifices and won a
large array of gallantry awards. In World War II alone, the
British India’s contribution was 2.5 million servicemen and
women.
