Here's some photos of my brother, Benjit. He's twenty five years old and at the moment is Second Lieutenant Officer in the British Army. He's on duty abroad. Guru Rakha!

My brother told me that marching is quite hard, because you have to keep your back straight and its very tiring on the body.

Training expedition in Lake District
Morning exercise - running and carrying a large heavy pole. (Doesn't look like fun!)
During the training period, the army holds days for the family's of cadet's to visit. The cadet's do a special parade march and afterwards there is a Barbeque for the families. Here's some photos from our family visit to Sandhurst to see my brother:
I'm standing with my brother and mum outside the main Sandhurst building.
This is a window painting found in the main Sandhurst building chapel hall. In the corridor there is a gallery of pictures of Sikhs and Indians who fought for the British. Most of the pictures of Sikh Sardars :)
My dad and brother looking towards the lake.
This is a picture of my brother's cupboard in his room at Sandhurst. Every single thing has to put in certain place and kept in order. If not then you get disciplined (Waheguru!).

hi manvir
i am so dejected to see thar your father and brother have cut their hairs. you can be their source of inspiration. make them to follow the rules of the tenth master.
i myself had shorn hair five years ago. I thank my Guru who blessed me with Gursikhi jeevan.
My father has began to wear a Pagh when going to the Gurdwara now and when we go to functions or relative's house. He now finds it odd if he doesn't tie a pagh and go to the Gurdwara. I pray that my his confidence grow and that Guru Ji blesses him that he keeps Sikhi Saroop.
May Guru Ji bless Naam Di Daat, Sikhi Saroop, and Rehat Di Daat to everyone :)
very nice to see a Sikh in British Army and your caring for all Khalsa PAnth
