Hira Singh : when India came to fight in Flanders by Talbot Mundy Pdf
Hira Singh : when India came to fight in Flanders is a story by Talbot Mundy. A Sikh cavalryman, Hira Singh, recounts his story of fighting in WWI as a journalist with extra duties to report the horridness of war as he experienced it.
Hira Singh is the story of a regiment of Sikh cavalry who are captured in battle in Flanders in the early days of World War I. The book narrates the adventures faced by these troops as they escape from captivity and under the leadership of the hero of the story Ranjoor Singh, a Sikh officer, they try to make their way back to India under conditions of great difficulty.
Hira Singh (or Hira Singh: When India Came to Fight in Flanders) is a short novel by Talbot Mundy, originally published (under the title Hira Singh's Tale) as a four-part serial in Adventure Magazine in October and November 1917, and published in book form in 1918 by Cassell (London) and Bobbs-Merrill (Indianapolis). The hero of the story is a Sikh officer, Ranjoor Singh, an earlier adventure of whom is recounted in the novel The Winds of the World.
Excerpt from Hira Singh: When India Came to Fight in Flanders Had Ranjoor Singh and his men been Muhamma dans their accomplishment would have been sufi'iciently wonderful. For Sikhs to attempt what they carried through, even under such splendid leadership as Ran joor Singh's, was to defy the very nth degree of odds. To have tried to tell the tale otherwise than in Hira Singh's own words would have been to varnish gold. Amid the echoes of the roar of the guns in Flanders, the world is inclined to overlook India's share in it all and the stout proud loyalty of Indian hearts. May this tribute to the gallant Indian gentlemen who came to fight our battles serve to remind its readers that they who give their best, and they who take, are one.

A Sikh who must have stood about six feet without his turban-and only imagination knows how stately he was with it-loomed out of the violet mist of an Indian morning and scrutinized me with calm brown eyes. His khaki uniform, like two of the medal ribbons on his breast, was new, but nothing else about him suggested rawness. Attitude, grayness, dignity, the unstudied strength of his politeness, all sang aloud of battles won. Battles with himself they may have been-but they were won.
