On land, at sea and throughout the country, the nation stood together today in an act of silent, solemn remembrance for the men and women who laid down their lives so that we may live in freedom. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

Introducing the Tactical Maala — prayer beads built for the toughest conditions. ⚔️ Rooted in Sikh martial tradition, it gives Sikhs in uniform spiritual strength & focus, while doubling as a survival tool. A symbol of resilience, identity & duty. #Sikh #TacticalMaala

#VJDay80 — 6 & 19 Jan 1943, Donbaik, Burma: Havildar Parkash Singh VC braved fierce fire to rescue stranded carriers, driving with one hand & firing with the other, then towed his CO’s blazing vehicle to safety. Fearless courage earned the Victoria Cross. #Sikh #WW2

As VJ Day 80 nears, we honour Naik Gian Singh VC of the 15th Punjab Regiment. In Burma, 2 March 1945, wounded yet undaunted, he single-handedly stormed enemy positions, destroyed an anti-tank gun, and led his men to victory — courage that earned the Victoria Cross. #sikh #vjday80

Open to all a Sikh Regiment wouldn’t divide the Army; it would strengthen it—just as it proudly did for centuries before! #Sikh #BritishArmy #Regiment @Vernon_Coaker
