Sikh Soldiers and Anzac Troops Together
In this video, we explore the remarkable story of a Sikh soldier through a powerful image drawn by British Sergeant John Hargrave. This image depicts a Sikh soldier, wounded in battle, with a torn leg awaiting treatment—a vivid testament to the strength and spirit of these men. The contribution of Sikh soldiers is commemorated at the Cape Helles Memorial, though they don’t have graves due to their religious customs of cremation.
In addition, I encourage you to check out my interview with Professor Peter Stanley, published this year to honour the ANZACs. It offers deeper insights into the important role Sikh soldiers played during the Gallipoli campaign.
Join me as we reflect on these unsung heroes and their remarkable contributions to the war effort, bridging cultures and building lasting friendships.
Join us for our next conversation, National Care and Support Sector Conference 2025.
