Meghalaya Delegation Identifies Three World War I Garo Graves in Malta
A Meghalaya delegation led by Assembly Speaker Thomas A Sangma identified the graves of three Garo men—Ading Marak, Join Marak, and Sangjim Sangma—who served with the British 69th Garo Labour Company during World War I at Malta's Pieta Military Cemetery. Previously, only Khew Marak's grave was known. The Garo Labour Company supported the Allied war effort through labor tasks. The visit highlighted Meghalaya's historical contribution and paid tribute to these largely unrecognized soldiers.
