    Phuman Singh – First Sikh to
    arrive to NZ
    • Phuman Singh, known in New Zealand as Phomen,
    was born in the Punjab, India, probably in 1869 or
    1870, the second of three sons of a Sikh peasant
    farming family. He was the son of Bela Singh, a Jatt by
    caste and Gill by sub-caste, and his wife, Sundar.
    Phomen was brought up in Chirak, a large village just
    south of Moga. The family appear to have been
    relatively poor without being destitute, for in the
    1880s his elder brother, Bir, like many other needy
    Punjabis, travelled to Hong Kong and from there to
    Australia.
    Jagt Singh- First Sikh to serve
    NZ Army in WW1
    • Jagt Singh migrated to New Zealand in 1913 and served in
    World War I as a trooper with the New Zealand Mounted
    Rifles. Singh was born in Punjab, India in 1889 and at age
    24 left home for a new life in New Zealand. Just over a year
    after his arrival in New Zealand, Singh enlisted in the Army
    and became one of a small number of Indian New
    Zealanders who served with the New Zealand Forces in
    World War I.
