Three of the five ks baptised Sikhs wear at all times as a sign of their faith; a kirpan (dagger), kangha (wooden hair comb), and kara (iron bracelet) on top of a kachera (cotton undergarment). “I hope that now it encourages more Sikhs, Muslims and other [minorities] who wanted to join but were unsure [how they’d fit].” Talbot said he didn’t know of any other gursikh (baptised Sikh) in the Defence Force, although he had seen a few other soldiers wearing a turban as part of their culture and upbringing. Sikhs have a proud military tradition, and many serve in the armies of other Commonwealth countries.
