BBC series, produced by BBC Studios Factual Entertainment, records another first as it values medal awarded to Sikh soldier for bravery fighting in World War Two.
It is always an immense honour to see, let alone, hold a Victoria Cross. The humble bronze Cross represents the highest traditions of courage, sacrifice and honour."The BBC's Antiques Roadshow, presented by Fiona Bruce, recorded another first this Sunday when it valued a Victoria Cross medal awarded to a Sikh soldier for his bravery when fighting with Allied forces in the Far East campaign of 1945.
Naik Gian Singh was ordered to the Regimental Aid Post but, in spite of his wounds, requested permission to lead his section until the whole action had been completed. This was granted. There is no doubt that these acts of supreme gallantry saved Naik Gian Singh's platoon many casualties and enabled the whole operation to be carried out successfully with severe losses to the enemy.
Mark Smith said: “It is always an immense honour to see, let alone, hold a Victoria Cross. The humble bronze Cross represents the highest traditions of courage, sacrifice and honour, how can one not be moved to be in its presence. Always a moment to remember.”
