Remembering the vital contribution of Sikh troops in WW1 #LestWeForget

Over 138,000 Indian troops fought in Belgium and France during World War I, many of them Sikhs. More than one quarter of these soldiers would became casualties. After the bloody battle of Neuve Chapelle in 1915 the Sikh regiments had lost 80% of their men, 3 regiments stood at only 16% of their original compliment. With thanks to Harbinder Singh who is working to preserve their memory.
