His education was limited to reading and writing the Gurmukh&#299 script which he learnt in the village <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i>. He grew up into a tall young man and enlisted in 126th Bal&#363ch Battalion in British times but having been on active service only for three years came back as a reservist. He was recalled for active service at the outbreak of the First Great War in 1914. After his final retirement at the end of the war he started taking interest in the matter of reforming the management of the <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i>, then engaging the attention of the Sikh Panth. He received afresh the <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 <i>p&#257hul</i> at the instance of Bh&#257&#299 M&#363l Si&#7749gh Garm&#363l&#257. He joined the reformers' column led by Bh&#257&#299 Lachhma&#7751 Si&#7749gh massacred at Nank&#257&#7751&#257 S&#257hib on 20 February 1921.</p> <p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>See</i> NANK&#256&#7750&#256 S&#256HIB MASSACRE</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1">Shamsher, Gurba<u>kh</u>sh Si&#7749gh, <i>Shah&#299d&#299 J&#299van</i>.
