Bhai Lachhman Singh (1867 – 20.2.1921), son of Bhai Nanak Singh, was born at village Bura Dalla (district Gurdaspur). He belonged to a very poor family. When he grew up, he joined army. During his service he studied Gurmukhi and also got initiation. In 1905, he got married. His wife could not bear him any child. After a few years, she died. This incident made him despondent. He gifted away all his belongings to his brother and left home. Finally, he moved to village Chakk No 83 Dalla Nangal (district Sheikhupura) and became a Granthi of the Gurdwara. He was fond of serving the people. When Bhai Lachhman Singh formed a Jatha for the liberation of the Gurdwara Janam Asthan, he volunteered himself. On February 19, 1921, he went to Nanakana Sahib where he embraced martyrdom the following day.
