Petition The formation of a Sikh regiment in the British army.

Over 250,000 sikhs fought in the world wars under the British Empire, with many men being awarded the Victoria cross for their bravery. The British army quite rightly recognises Nepalese (Gurkhas) soliders and it is only right the sacrifice of the sikhs is honoured by forming a Sikh regiment.
