During his recent budget speech our esteemed chancellor,amongst the rest of his largesse,announced £1 million would be set aside to provide for a war memorial in memory of muslim troops during 2 world wars.
Up until now I thought fallen soldiers had been buried in plots together irrespective of religion and skin colour.

Maybe that's because they were mostly Christian.
