Described as ¡®war to end to all the wars¡¯, World War I was one of the deadliest conflicts in the history of the world. Several Indian soldiers?also fought the war and lay down their lives in the process.?To mark the end of the bloody World War I, Commonwealth of Nations member states celebrate Armistice Day on November 11, every year.
A picture doing rounds on the internet on Armistice Day shows Sikh Soldiers who were a part of the Mesopotamian campaign which started in the Middle East between the World War I.
They are seen carrying the Guru Granth Sahib on their head in the Sikh soldier march in Mesopotamia. It is often said that faith comes to our rescue in time of great peril. This gesture by the soldiers shows how much faith and respect they had for the Guru Granth Sahib and how it gave them the strength to keep going even in the harshest of circumstances.
A picture is worth a thousand words, but these might be worth way more than that.
