14th King George's Own Ferozepore Sikhs

14th King George's Own Ferozepore Sikhs, officially known as the 14th Sikh Regiment, was an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army, primarily raised from the Sikh community in the Ferozepore district of Punjab, India. Established in the early 20th century, the regiment played a significant role during both World Wars, demonstrating valor in various campaigns across Europe and Asia. Renowned for their gallantry and discipline, the 14th Ferozepore Sikhs earned a distinguished reputation, receiving numerous accolades and battle honors. After India's independence in 1947, the regiment was incorporated into the Indian Army, continuing its legacy as a prominent Sikh military unit with a storied history and contributions to Indian defense.
