Clay statue in Amritsar commemorates 135 Sikh WW-I soldiers
A clay sculpture by eminent Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen of a crouching Sikh soldier wearing a turban, one of 6,00,000 soldiers killed during the First World War in Ypres, Belgium, was donated to Khalsa College Amritsar's Sikh History Research Centre by a Belgian delegation in June. The statue commemorates the sacrifice of 135 Sikh soldiers, hailing from Amritsar's Sultanwind village.
