We then went to Rajghat where the remains of Mahatma Gandhi are laid. Then off to the Champs Eleysee to see the India Gate World War I memorial listing all the British and Indians who gave their lives between 1029-1925. The gun and helmet are to honor the Unknown Soldier who died in 1971 during the war with Pakistan. The canopy was used to accommodate a sculpture of King George V until 1948 when it was placed in a museum. King George V was in India in 1911.
