NEVER FORGOTTEN
83,005 Sikhs gave their lives in the battlefields of the two World Wars, with 109,045 wounded in battle across the world.
The Sikh Soldier Organisation is proud to announce that the monument to commemorate the role of Sikh soldiers in the Two World Wars was finally unveiled on Saturday 30th November 2019 in the beautiful setting of the Rose Garden in Greenhead Park, Huddersfield.
WORLD WARS
In the two World Wars Sikhs played prominent roles in the conflicts. The closest estimates report that 83,005 Sikhs gave their lives in the battlefields of the two World Wars, with 109,045 wounded in battle across the world.
Thousands of Sikhs who bravely volunteered to join the war effort in both great conflicts were never to see their homeland again. They were however to leave an incredible legacy of tales of incredible bravery and courage. The sacrifice of our gallant Sikh brothers is hardly given a nodding mention in the history books in Britain.
