UNESCO has described the Battle of Saragarhi, and the Sikh soilders (British Empire Army) who fought in it (listed below), as one of eight stories of collective bravery. The contingent of the twenty one Sikhs was led by Havildar Ishar Singh, and all chose to fight to the death instead of surrendering. In recognition of their supreme sacrifice, the British Parliament rose to pay them respect, and each one of them was awarded the Indian Order of Merit. In the West, it has been compared to the Battle of Thermopylae.
