You can wear our flag on our damn uniform but don't you dare sing America The Beautiful in whatever dirt language it is you speak.

Turbans look badass in every uniform. Makes me wonder why I don't wear one. I am technically supposed. . .

My people are known for their facial hair! It is in our culture. Sadly, my beard is not as epic as his. My granddads is though, his is awesome!!

By the advent of World War I , Sikhs in the British Indian Army totaled over 100,000, i.e., 20% of the British Indian Army . In the years to 1945, 14 Victoria Crosses were awarded to the Sikhs, a per capita record given the size of the Sikh Regiments . [84] In 2002, the names of all Sikh VC and George Cross winners were inscribed on the pavilion monument of the Memorial Gates [103] on Constitution Hill next to Buckingham palace , London . [104] Lieutenant Colonel Chanan Singh Dhillon was instrumental in campaigning for the memorial building.
During
World War I
, Sikh battalions fought in Egypt, Palestine, Mesopotamia,
Gallipoli
and France. Six battalions of the
Sikh Regiment
were raised in
World War II
, and served at
El Alamein
and in
Burma
,
Italy
and
Iraq
, winning 27
battle honours
.
"British people are highly indebted and obliged to Sikhs for a long time. I know that within this century we needed their help twice [in two world wars] and they did help us very well. As a result of their timely help, we are today able to live with honour, dignity, and independence. In the war, they fought and died for us, wearing the turbans."
— Sir Winston Churchill
"In the last two world wars 83,005 turban wearing Sikh soldiers were killed and 109,045 were wounded. They all died or were wounded for the freedom of Britain and the world, and during shell fire, with no other protection but the turban, the symbol of their faith."
— General Sir Frank Messervy
(In other words, they went into battle without helmets, likely because the turban is the only headgear allowed by their religion. Bad ass.)
