Honouring the Legacy. Supporting the Brotherhood. Serving the Nation.
Through fellowship, welfare initiatives, and remembrance activities, we continue the spirit of service beyond military duty.
The Sri Lanka Army Sinha Regiment has played a significant role in defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Sri Lanka. Over the decades, thousands of brave soldiers have served under its proud banner.
The Sinha Regiment Ex-Servicemen Association was established to maintain lifelong bonds among those who once served together and to support the well-being of retired personnel and their families.
The association acts as a unifying platform where veterans can continue their journey of camaraderie and service.
