It's Wednesday morning, Ayshah here live with Newsround.

Here's what's coming up: The dramatic rescue attempt

And the story of the amazing men from India who fought

Tennis first, and Britain's number one Andy Murray has beaten fellow

Brit Liam Broady in the opening round at Wimbledon.

It took Murray just one hour and 43 minutes to end

the 22 year old's first match on Centre Court,

Murray will now face Yen-Hsun Lu in the second round on Thursday.

Murray was pretty happy with his first round performance

First matches are always tricky. It was pretty breezy at the beginning.

Obviously merely have never played each other before although we

practised a lot. It is not easy playing someone you know. I did OK.

And in the women's draw, Johanna Konta is back in action

Johanna was doing quite well against Monica Puig,

She starts back on Court One at one this afternoon.

100 years ago, Britain was in the middle of the biggest

World War One was between Britain and Germany, and was also fought

So how did tens of thousands of Indian soldiers,

from the other side of world, end up fighting someone else's war?

100 years ago Britain was one of the biggest wars the world had ever

seen. I am at the War Memorial which remembers the soldiers who fought

and died here fighting on the British side. Not every soldier came

from Britain. Lots were from many different parts of the world. One of

the countries that played a big part in helping was India. I think they

were all heroes. They were really brave. They risked their lives to

save Britain. We would not have freedom if it was not for them. I

could not have left everything behind to go somewhere different. In

1918, Britain was at war. They needed millions of soldiers to

fight. At the time Britain built lots of countries around the world.

One of those countries was India. Back then it included not only

modern India but countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan. They wanted

to be seen representing the British Empire. The bigot incentive on

completion was to get their independence and run the country by

themselves. -- the bigger incentive. More than a million men left India

and travelled thousands of miles to fight alongside the world, including

here in France. Many would not return. This man was one of those

soldiers. He joined the Indian army straight out of school. He fought

here in France. On the 10th of March in 1915, he and his fellow soldiers

were about to go into their first major battle because at the time

this village was controlled by the Germans. The British Army's job was

to drive them out. Caught in the middle of this huge battle was a

British soldier, Captain George Henderson. Badly wounded and in

desperate need of help. Mange it refused to leave a fellow soldier B

final -- behind. He grabbed Captain George, slung him in a wheelbarrow

and rushed him away to safety. It ultimately saved his fellow

soldier's life. But while saving him Mantou was shot and died from his

injuries. He is a hero. An extremely brave and courageous man. He has

chosen someone else's life over his. He was just one of the many who came

to fight alongside the British. This monument remembers the sacrifices

those Indian soldiers made for Britain. But over the years their

bravery and loyalty has almost been forgotten. So how should we remember

them? I think their story should be told and people should learn it in

class. It is a big part of history. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't

be here living our lives how we are. I want to know my ancestors, if they

had been in the war, because I want to acknowledge that they were brave.

I feel really proud because I am a seek and there were seats fighting

in that war as well. For all I know one of my ancestors was there. It is

very special. On Friday I will be back here

because there is a special event taking place marking 100 years since

the battle took place. I will be giving you some special report on

Thursday as well. In the meantime, head online where we have got loads

of World War I and the Battle of the Somme. For now, back to the studio.

Last up, to the rescue of a blue whale in California in the US.

It was caught in a fishing line near the shore.

Marine experts got close enough to cut some of the rope away,

but there's still some left. They'll try to help again today.

That's all from me and the team this morning.

Newsround's back this afternoonat 4:20pm.

Go online for all the latest. We'll see you soon.
