The In Flanders' Fields Museum comments :
Never did a Ganga Singh get a Victoria Cross. This somewhat exaggerated story is based on similar facts regarding one Gagna, in Mesen.
Havildar Ganga Singh, Indian Army.
One of the first of the overseas troops to be awarded the coveted Victoria Cross.

He is a fearless fighter at whom even the bravest enemy might quail, and was given the decoration for conspicuous valour. After killing a German officer, he seized the dead man's sword, and slew ten other men with it. He was wounded five times in these encounters. | |
