A guest on Antiques Roadshow in Glasgow was in tears after learning the value of his father's war medal.
He had with him a medal that was given to his father, Sikh soldier Naik Gian Singh, for his bravery in the Burma campaign in 1945.
Charanjit said:"My dad never talked to us about the story. He used to get emotional whenever he talked about it. Obviously, he lost a lot of his friends in that battle.”He said:"Firing his Tommy gun and throwing grenades, Naik Gian Singh made two lone charges against the Japanese in Burma...
"To be that involved in the battle and to just keep going, even though he's wounded, is absolutely incredible." It was deliberately made of bronze as Her Majesty did not want it to be made of something precious as it is"about the deed, not the medal".He responded:"Even if it's worth £2 million, £10 million, we won't part with it. No way.Mark added:"I can understand that. They are some of the most iconic things that we have in this country for our military, all across the world.
