Who Were the 10 Sikh Supermen?

The 10 Sikh Supermen and their commanding officer Lieutenant John 'Jackie' Smyth took on a mission that seemed destined to fail. Initially Smyth refused to go, but when he was given the order every single man under his command volunteered for the task.

Their terrifying ordeal was to carry supplies across 250 yards of no man's land. With men trapped in a forward trench many of the 10 Sikh Supermen gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep the trench under British control.

It was an incredible act of bravery for which Lieutenant John Smyth would be awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions. When talking about that day he said "What kept me going was the courage of my men... I gave them leadership, and they gave me support. I wouldn't have dared to go back even if i wanted to with them treading on my heels".

I've said it before on your channel. The Sikhs are an exceptional group of human beings who deserve respect.

My Great Grandfather was in the 15th Ludhiana Sikhs, with our Heroic ancestors, he’s classed as MIA. My cousins and i go to this battlefield every year to honour all our Sikhs who never returned home. I’m blessed and proud to be a Sikh. I was in the Royal Marines Commando, i was blown up by an IED in a place we called (HELL ON EARTH) My “Mama” uncle is in the 19th Punjab Regiment. P.S. NEVER FORGET OUR HEROIC HEROES WHO ARE IN THE BATTLEFIELDS AROUND THE WORLD.

The Sikhs are renowned for their courage. It is as though they have no fear at times. Marvelous warriors and good poets. 👍

My great grandfather was in charge of a sikh regiment and he said they were the finest soldiers he ever led!

Sikh bravery is unmatched but Sikh gullibility, honesty, sincerity, and faith in Waheguru is also unmatched.

[jol-qwpc]

"Battle of chamkaur" Is another example of sikh bravery.

[hindu]

The amount of bravery in a Sikh soldier is unmatched.

[australianmade]

The bravery of Sikhs is unquestionable. It’s not taught enough though. If I had to go into battle, I’d choose a Sikh all day long.

[avince]

I'm a Sikh, and I'm very proud to be one.

All Sikh men bear the name 'Singh', which means 'Lion' - an apt description for a valiant race of heroes. Superbly animated, superbly told, a great tribute to such great hearted men. One tiny quibble - are those kilts just a little on the short side? But that is a very small point in a terrific, and little known story.

[sunnynirmaan]

tears in my eyes when he said 'Every single man steps Forward'! Damn!

[hunterrandolph]

God i love hearing about sikhs and their sheer bravery and courage. They are all an inspiration and the definition of being masculine

[dong]

Both stories of the Sikhs have given me goosebumps. It amazes me how harrowing they were in battle.

[Lorddonen]

Smyth is a real officer leading his men like this, God bless him and the soldiers!

[evanderpierznik]

Damn bro Sikhs were really like "Alright everyone do some sort of insanely heroic and unbelievable action to make sure you go down in the books".

[captain_commenter]

It’s summer break, but Yarnhub is the only thing that is considered “education” that I will willingly watch

[nian]

The bravery of the Sikhs never ceases to amaze me!

[likeablelabradoodle]

Gorkhas and sikhs feel very similar
The presence of fear cant be traced in these men
Their bellows intimidating enough to scare the enemy into retreat
Even death is afraid of these living legends
And not just in war
They are talented musicians vocalists poets and literatures
Truly exceeded in art and war

[cheezkid]

The Sikhs are terrifying. They're intelligent, loyal, and absolutely ferocious. Their actions must be honored.
