The Forgotten Heroes 14-19 Foundation has discovered previously unknown photographs and documents showing the diversity—and the respect and unity—that thrived during World War I. Personal diaries and letters found in English, French, Urdu, Arabic, and Farsi are yielding many heartwarming accounts of soldiers from various faiths standing shoulder to shoulder in battle. These soldiers shared their lives and accommodated each other’s different cultures, dietary codes, music, and religious practices

The Unknown Fallen is an inspirational masterpiece to foster dialogues which are truly transnational, multicultural and interfaith, between peoples of different nations, religions, languages and identities. The aim is to find a common humanity based on universal values.
It also attracted worldwide attention due the high quality, the unique combination of design, authentic images, quotes and exclusive documents and was shortlisted for a prestigious award in the United Kingdom . https://www.thedrumdesignawards.com/drum-design-awards-2018/print-design/unknown-fallen

Teaching with Film

Journeys in Film harnesses the storytelling power of film to educate the most visually literate generation in history. Most of the critical issues that the United States faces today are international in their scope and complexity, and our abilities as a nation to meet these challenges will be strengthened by a greater understanding of our global interdependence. Aligned with various prominent national initiatives, Journeys in Film believes that helping America’s youth develop this kind of worldview and understanding should be a primary 21st century educational goal. Our educational program has proven to be effective in connecting cultures, broadening world-views, teaching for global competency and building a new paradigm for best practices in education.

“Trench Blues”: An African American Song of World War I November 23, 2016 by Stephanie Hall

“Trench Blues,” is John Bray’s story about going to war in 1917 at 28. He tells of his experiences aboard ship while worrying about German submarines below the waves. He then describes how it felt in his “home in the trenches, living in a big dugout” of being among “40,000 called out to drill,” and going to Belgium. Listeners should be aware that he uses a pejorative word for African Americans in the song (the “n” word).

Fighting ceased at the end of World War I – the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month –​ and November 11th became Veterans Day honoring all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. This year Luc Ferier of the Forgotten Heroes 14-19 Foundation will present fascinating untold stories of Muslims, Christians, and Jews in the First World War.​ PRESIDIO.GOV Veterans Day Interfaith Service

  •  11/10/2019 10:00 AM

This re-imagined Service of Remembrance commemorates all who have died in armed conflict and raises up the hope of peace. Following 2018’s centenary of Armistice Day, this service has evolved from its Anglican heritage to express the international and inter-religious ties we share in both war and peace. Our guest preacher Luc Ferrier, author of The Unknown Fallen, gives voice to the lesser-known Muslim battalions who served among the Allies in World War I. With military band and bagpipes.

  •  3/15/2017 12:00 AM

Talk by Luc Ferrier, who chairs Forgotten Heroes 14-19 - the umbrella group for the Muslim Experience - says: "If the world really wants to reach out to the international Muslim community, then they need to know the enormous contribution these people have made, fighting a war none of their making. "Only by recognising and honouring the global Muslim sacrifices, not only these of the British colonies, we are reaching out to them and saying a genuine thank you".

Acknowledgements

When I created the Forgotten Heroes 14-19 Foundation, more than 6 years ago, I never expected being asked to publish a book with the aim of reaching out to grassroots communities worldwide, providing a glimpse of our findings. It wasn’t to be an academic or historical database, but a visual coffee table book focused on the human aspects of all the Allied Muslim soldiers.

 "Your project also seeks to start a healing process by demonstrating how to build bridges of peace between different cultures and faiths by celebrating the previously unknown diversity of soldiers who fought side by side in the Great War.

 "I welcome this timely initiative to raise awareness of the sacrifice many North African men were prepared to make so far from home, in strange and unfamiliar lans - with many never seeing their countries or families ever again. We salute their courage, and underline their worthiness to be remembered." 

His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal
The Royal Palace, Amman Jordan

 "The traveling exhibition – an immersive cultural exchange – is a fantastic and visionary idea. We believe it would serve as proof that our tragedies are shared, our suffering is shared, and also our triumphs and victories. By propagating that, every Muslim, Christian, Jew, every person of faith and none, will feel that they are as one whole – a unit – and that we must stand by one another in soldarity for the greater benefit of mankind." 

Shabir Beg
Scottish Ahlul Bayt Society

 "It is important that we recognise the contributions of Muslims standing together with all communities both then and now to counter rising anti-Muslim sentiment and extremist narrative in today's society."

 "It is heart-warming to hear the stories of how they stayed devout to their faith by praying in the trenches while caring for their wounded brothers-in-arms regardless of faith with remedies that they Iearned from their home countries.. . . I believe that recognition and celebration of their sacrifice for Europe will play an effective part in fostering pride among Muslim youth around the world while addressing the global rise in misunderstanding of Muslims today. I pray that your project goes from strength to strength."
