Date[edit]

Is it normal that Find-A-Grave and WP doesn't have the same death date? Lincher 12:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How far?[edit]

The citation says 1½ miles, the descriptive text 6 miles. I suspect that the citation is wrong, either by simple error or by way of disguise during wartime (compare the 2nd entry in the London Gazette). Would even a cavalryman take a horse to travel 1½ miles under heavy fire? Narky Blert (talk) 20:35, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rajasthan did not exist in 1887[edit]

The modern state of Rajasthan was not formed until 1949. There were multiple political units that covered the modern area before that. We need to figure out which one applied to where Singh was born and reference that in the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:50, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Painting[edit]

A painting of Singh's VC action (this) will be available for commons next year upon the 70th anniversary of the death of Thomas Flowerday Clarke. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 01:10, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
