EDITORS COMMENTS
September 1914: The Sikh Contingent Marches to the Western Front Amidst the chaos and urgency of the First World War, the need for reinforcements on the Western Front was becoming increasingly dire. In August 1914, as the German Army advanced through France and Belgium, more Allied troops were desperately needed to bolster the defenses against the enemy's onslaught. The Indian Army, with its vast numbers and disciplined ranks, seemed the obvious source for importing much-needed manpower. In this historical photograph, a contingent of Sikh soldiers is seen on the march, their turbans adorned with the distinctive stell quoit, the old-time national battlefield weapon of the Sikhs. The quoit, a heavy discus-like weapon, was a symbol of the Sikh warrior tradition and served as a reminder of their proud martial heritage. The Sikh soldiers, identified by their unique headgear and weapon, were part of the 36th Sikhs, one of the many regiments of the Indian Army that would be sent to Europe to fight in the war. This photograph, taken on October 3, 1914, captures a moment in history as these brave soldiers prepared to leave their homeland and march towards an uncertain future on the battlefields of France and Belgium. The Indian Army, which had a long and distinguished history of military service, played a crucial role in the Allied war effort. The Sikh regiments, in particular, were renowned for their courage and discipline, making them an invaluable asset to the Allied forces. This photograph is a testament to their unwavering commitment and the sacrifices they made for the cause of freedom and democracy during the Great War.
