EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the 15th Sikhs regiment, a distinguished unit of the Indian Army, serving on the Western Front during the First World War. The image, reproduced from a sketch made by an unidentified officer for the publication The Sphere, dates back to 1915. The Sikhs, renowned for their bravery and disciplined military tradition, are depicted here in their distinctive uniforms, adorned with turbans. The 15th Sikhs, also known as the "Jallianwala Bagh Regiment," played a significant role in the war, participating in several major battles, including the Second Battle of Ypres and the Battle of Loos. Their unwavering courage and determination in the face of adversity earned them a formidable reputation among their Allied counterparts. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these soldiers, far from their homeland, as they braved the harsh conditions of the Western Front. The image underscores the global impact of the First World War and the crucial role played by non-European troops in the conflict. The 15th Sikhs' legacy continues to inspire and remind us of the sacrifices made by soldiers from diverse backgrounds during this pivotal moment in history.
