There have been several attempts to raise a Sikh regiment in the modern British army.

This is from last year.
Don’t know how It’s doing now.

The turban WOULD fit under those huge fuzzy hats.
But, the Sikh would be a fish out of water in Britain, not wanted by the Brit women and not trusted by the Brit men.

The Indian women in the U.K. wouldn't be interested in them either. In essence, I think, the male Sikhs in the U.K. have pigeonholed themselves into a very small sphere.

They belong in Indian, in the Punjab. End of story.
