The India Gate; originally called the All India War Memorial; is a war memorial located astride the Rajpath; on the eastern edge of the 鈥榗eremonial axis' of New Delhi; formerly called Kingsway.

The names of some 70;000 Indian soldiers who died in World War I; in France and Flanders; Mesopotamia; and Persia; East Africa; Gallipoli and elsewhere in the near and the far-east; between 1914-19; are inscribed on the memorial arch. In addition; the war memorial bears the names of some 12;516 Indian soldiers who died while serving in India or the North-west Frontier and during the Third Afghan War.

The India Gate war memorial; the architectural style of which has been compared with the Gateway of India in Bombay; and the Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe in Paris; was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Pictures From Asia David Henley
