The story of one of the first Sikh Canadian WWI soldiers has been uncovered with the discovery of his Victory medal. Sandeep Singh Brar an avid Sikh historian purchased the medal from a dealer in England and quickly realized its historical significance. The medal revealed a fascinating story of heroism and tragedy. sikhmuseum.com Buckam Singh
Rather ironic really considering: Sikhism in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and Komagata Maru incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have ever been released over here, and not one that seems to be available on DVD
An Impressive VC Hi Annie & Kyt, Came across this and I was so impressed by the photograph I had to post it. I know it is between the wars. But ! Cheers Keith
Cheers Keith. He looks very distinguished. Another pic in later life British Empire: Armed Forces: Units: Indian Infantry: 28th Punjabis And attached his his medals. I haven't found where served in WW1, with his 1914/15 Star etc
Annie Thanks for your, as usual, in depth comments. It makes me feel rather sad, but it in no way takes away the pride I share with such a majestic character. His obvious dedication and pride of uniform are an example fo all. Cheers Keith
