Sikh Remembrance Day Ceremony 2023
In Canadian history, among stories of bravery and selflessness, one figure shines: Private Buckam Singh. Often overlooked, his tale illuminates the resilience and valor of those who influenced our nation. His journey from Punjab, India, to the battlefields of World War I speaks of determination and sacrifice. Wounded twice in the line of duty, he exemplified courage under fire. Despite facing discrimination and illness, his legacy endures as a beacon of inspiration. Each year, at Mount Hope Cemetery in Kitchener, Ontario, Canadians gather to pay tribute to Private Buckam Singh and his comrades, honoring their service and sacrifices.
