Blog - Tribute in Remembrance for the Battle of Saragarhi

Today we paid tribute at Greenhead Park, Huddersfield to the 21 Sikh Soldiers of the British Indian Sikh regiment who gave their lives at the Battle of Saragarhi on 12th September 1897. Kevin Sharp Deputy Lieutenant, Captain Chris Long 4th Battalion Yorkshire Regiment, Retd Major Stephen Armitage Army veterans and members of Sikh Soldier Organisation who all paid tributes by putting down wreaths. Our flag doesn’t fly because the wind moves it, it is because of the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it. We come not to mourn our dead heroes but to praise them. 🙏
