This photograph by Randolph Bezzant Holmes shows British & Sikh officers of 14th Sikhs at Peshawar a year before the war.
Of the 28 men shown, 16 lost their lives in the Great war. Ten on a single day , 4th June 1915 during the third battle of Krithia.
Gen Sir Ian Hamilton Commander of Allied Forces paid tribute to the men of 14th Sikh : " Their devotion to duty & splendid loyalty to their orders and to their leaders make a record their nation should look back with pride for many generations".
