SMI 22: Sikh Troops War Memorial
Created: 2023

The statue is based on a soldier who served with the 15th Ludhiana Sikhs Regiment. It was designed using 3D modelling as opposed to traditional sculpting. This was undertaken by the artist Taranjit Singh (Taran3D). The soldier is standing to attention, with his turban adorned with a “Chakkar” or quoit and a rifle by his side. The plinth has images lasered into it depicting Sikh Military during both World Wars. The wording reflects the bravery and sacrifices of Sikhs in many campaigns as part of the “British” Indian Army.

The statue can be seen at Victoria Park, Leicester.

Project coordinated by Gurinder Singh Mann. 3D design by Taranjit Singh on behalf of the Sikh Troops War Memorial committee.
