EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a statuette of The Sikh Bomber, a poignant war memorial dedicated to the 14th King Georges Own Ferozepore Sikhs who served valiantly during World War One. The standing figure of Mohan Singh, depicted in service dress and preparing to throw a grenade, is a powerful representation of the courage and sacrifice of these soldiers. The statuette, which dates back to circa 1918, was originally made between 1920 and 1929 to commemorate the action at Gully Ridge, Gallipoli, during the pivotal June 1915 campaign. The Sikh Bomber is crafted from silver by the prestigious Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company Limited and is hallmarked in London between 1951 and 1952. The statuette rests atop a plinth, adorned with four silver plaques, each inscribed with significant details. One plaque lists the officers who died of wounds or were drowned by enemy action between 1914 and 1919. The Sikh Bomber is associated with the Indian Army and the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. It relates to the various theaters of World War One, including Egypt and Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Gallipoli. The statuette and its accompanying plaques are housed in a wooden carrying box, making it a truly unique and historic artifact. This powerful and evocative piece stands as a testament to the bravery and resilience of the 14th King Georges Own Ferozepore Sikhs during a time of great adversity and conflict.
