Hate to be that guy, but most Indians in South West Africa would’ve been serving in the South African Army as laborers, medical personnel, and other non-combatant roles, because the South African government was reluctant to allow its non-white population to bear arms, and the British Indian Army wasn’t involved in the South West Africa campaign, it was exclusively fought with South African and Portuguese troops from Angola
Edit: German East Africa would’ve made more sense in this meme, because Indian Army troops did take part in that campaign
