Sarbjit Singh sent us this lovely picture of his great-grandfather Captain Malook Singh who hailed from Sansarpur, Jalandhar.

He was awarded the rank of Honorary Captain for saving the life of an injured British officer in World War One. Incredibly he covered 20 miles with the injured officer on his shoulder.
