1897年9月12日蕯拉加地之戰(Battle of Saragarihi),21位錫克教士兵及一位穆斯林廚師死戰上10,000名阿富汗部族。124周年紀念的2021年9月12日,英國中部伍法咸頓(Wolverhampton)就為領導抵抗的錫克教士兵Ishar Singh上士的銅像揭幕。
2020年11月,市議會開始籌備計劃,為銅像批出99年期的地段租約,並從當區民間籌得£10,000,最後撥出合共£35,000籌備,由藝術家Luke Perry設計。
在英國致力介紹這場戰役的後備陸軍上尉Singh-Sohal形容這是歐洲罕見的紀念碑,希冀為亞洲及非洲族裔的英兵留下更多蹤影。
“One of the things that’s always appalled me in the English education system has been the invisibility cloak that has been thrown over the work of Asian and African soldiers in building up this country.”
