Two soldiers of Indian origin, who enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force in the early 20th century, and went on to become casualties of war during WWI, were remembered in a solemn ceremony held in Perth over the weekend.


The Sikh Association of Western Australia, together with RSL, came together on June 2, to mark the ultimate sacrifice made by Private Charles Fairbeard and Private Nain Singh Sailiani during WWI.

"We have decided to hold a ceremony to honour these fallen Indian Anzacs every year," said Mr Gurdarshan Singh Kailley, the president of Sikh Association of Western Australia.

'We will keep their legacy alive."
