Sikh soldiers played a significant role in the British Army during World War One, with over 138,000 troops serving. They were renowned for their bravery and were permitted to wear their turbans and carry traditional weapons such as chakrams and talwar swords. Their darkened faces and fierce battle cries earned them the nickname The Black Lions. Among them was Surinder Singh Gill, a decorated soldier whose medals were the only tangible reminders of a past that haunted him for the rest of his life.
