Join us as we delve into the forgotten history of Umrao Singh, an Indian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest honor for bravery in combat awarded by British and Commonwealth forces. Singh, a non-commissioned officer in the Royal Artillery during World War II, was one of the only 40 Indian soldiers decorated with the VC between 1912 and 1947. Hosted by Colin Heaton.
