British Sikh soldier Chamandeep Singh’s promotion in the Royal Logistic Corps of the British Army has garnered quite a bit of attention on social media. He recently became a sensation on Twitter after his wife Ceese Kaur Seera posted the news of his promotion. The post had 7300 likes and 500 retweets as well as comments. He is a Punjab-born soldier in the British Army who attended a military school in India for 12 years. During this period, he is said to have read about another soldier called Havildar Major Rajinder Singh Dhatt who is renowned for his heroic involvement in World War II during the Burma campaign.
