Sikh valour on exhibition
WSN Network

IPOH: The Perak museum here is offering a rare glimpse of Sikh soldiers in action during the first and second World Wars. 'Sikh Bravery in Military History -- Where Valour is a Tradition' features more than 300 photographs of Sikhs in action with the British Indian Army in Malaya, Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, Korea, China, the Middle East, Africa and Europe.

The exhibition, that has already begun from Nov 10 will continue till Nov 16, and will also commemorate the 539th birthday of Guru Nanak Dev on Nov 24.

Organiser Harchand Singh Bedi said the photographs were borrowed from London's Imperial War Museum, adding that the exhibition is a "once in a lifetime" chance to learn more about the Sikhs' role in the world's military history.
