It was unveiled on 4 November 2018 as part of the centenary of the end of the war.

The bronze sculpture is a 10 ft (3 metres) high depiction of a Sikh soldier of the First World War on a 5 ft granite plinth; it was created by Luke Perry.

[1][2][3][4][5] The Sikh soldiers contributed the most volunteers of any of the British holdings that had fought in that war.

Among these troops, the Sikhs rallied in large numbers for the King, Empire, and the defence of Europe.

The structure is classified as Grade II listed status, reflecting its significance.
