Her Majesty's Finest - Ludhiana Sikh Rgt. Rifleman

Narayan Singh was a distinguished veteran with the 15th Ludhiana Sikhs who was chosen to represent his regiment on Her Majesty's Finest. The 15th are an infantry regiment in the British Indian Army, that can trace its origins to 1846, when they were known as the Regiment of Ludhiana . During the Indian Mutiny they were relied upon to hold Benares throughout the period of the Mutiny. They became the 15th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry (Ludhiana Sikhs) in 1885.

Rumour goes the controversial Captain Nemo served with the regiment for a while, though this seems unlikely, given his view on what he deems the British colonial oppression.

Narayan Sing, looking lively.


Narayan Singh is a stock model from King & Country's "Sons of the Empire" range and only had his base repainted to match the rest. While not exactly a famous character from history or fiction, there was indeed a Narayan Singh serving with the 15th in that period of time.
