  • Centenary WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas
    First World War Centenary WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas www.1914.org WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas - Foreword Foreword The Prime Minister, Rt Hon David Cameron MP The centenary of the First World War will be a truly national moment – a time when we will remember a generation that sacrificed so much for us. Those brave men and boys were not all British. Millions of Australians, Indians, South Africans, Canadians and others joined up and fought with Britain, helping to secure the freedom we enjoy today. It is our duty to remember them all. That is why this programme to honour the overseas winners of the Victoria Cross is so important. Every single name on these plaques represents a story of gallantry, embodying the values of courage, loyalty and compassion that we still hold so dear. By putting these memorials on display in these heroes’ home countries, we are sending out a clear message: that their sacrifice – and their bravery – will never be forgotten. 2 WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas - Foreword Foreword FCO Senior Minister of State, Rt Hon Baroness Warsi I am delighted to be leading the commemorations of overseas Victoria Cross recipients from the First World War. It is important to remember this was a truly global war, one which pulled in people from every corner of the earth. Sacrifices were made not only by people in the United Kingdom but by many millions across the world: whether it was the large proportion of Australian men who volunteered to fight in a war far from home, the 1.2 million Indian troops who took part in the war, or the essential support which came from the islands of the West Indies.

  • The Indian Hospital Corps. 1
    J R Army Med Corps: first published as 10.1136/jramc-75-02-03 on 1 August 1940. Downloaded from 84 . THE INDIAN HOSPITAL CORPS. By LIEUTENANT-COLONEL J. F. BOURKE. M.C .. Royal Army Medical Corps. 1.-INTRODUCTORY. IF the proverb that "Happy is the country which has no history" is applicable to lesser entities, the Indian Hospital Corps should indeed be regarded as fortunate, as not only has it no authentic recorded history, but the verbal traditions about its origins and developments are uncertain, partially untrue, and contradictory. The present writer found this to his cost when it fell to his lot to write the six-line succinct history note which 2021 by guest. Protected copyright. now heads the Corps' entry in the Indian Army List. To obtain the requisite knowledge for that miniature summary a lengthy correspondence had to be conducted and much of the written word perused. II.~ARMY HOSPITAL NATIVE CORPS, 1881. In the early days in India the subordinate hospital personnel were raised on a local or temporary basis as considered most applicable according to the circumstances of the case, and there was no co-ordinated connexion between the various military hospitals in the matter of such minor personnel. The station hospital system, following its introduction in the United Kingdom in substitution of the regimental hospitals in 1873 [1], was applied to India in 1881; to the Bengal Presidency troops in the first instance, the Bombay and Madras armies following suit at a later date [2]. As will be seen, it took the Indian authorities eight years to adopt the system, and when they did so they seem to have been influenced by the issue of new revisions in England, as the official entry.

The sacrifices made by these daring people have ensured the long term existence and prosperity of the country in a world where there are continuous challenges and threats from other power. The majority of these national heroes belong to the Armed Forces of Pakistan as they are always on the front line while shielding the country against foreign enemies. This series of sacrifices started soon after the independence in 1947 and are still continued. The major acts of bravery and valor were witnessed at the times of war when the blood of these brave people irrigated the fields of prosperity and wellbeing for the country. There are other heroes too who acted courageously at the times other than war and made histories due to their bold actions in the face of death. This paper presents a brief overview of all the heroes who made sacrifices for the country and made it safe against the internal as well as external intrusions.

  • Burma Campaign Fact Sheet Vj75
    BURMA CAMPAIGN FACT SHEET VJ75 VJ Day 15th August 1945 Brief Overview 15th August each year is commemorated as Victory over Japan Day. The Burma campaign started with the Japanese invasion of Burma on 15th December 1941 and immediately the strength and manoeuvrability of the Japanese gave them the upper hand. A re-organisation of the British, Indian, Burmese and Gurkha battalions early in 1942 saw Major General “Bill” Slim arrive to command Burma Corps and conduct a hard-fighting retreat through Burma to beyond its borders with India. The 17th Indian Division containing six Gurkha Battalions was pivotal to Slim’s plans. Following this withdrawal, the troops were reinforced, retrained and resupplied and Slim, now Lieutenant General and 14th Army Commander, oversaw the heroic battles around Imphal and Kohima in the early spring and summer of 1944. Chindit Operations and offensives in the Arakan part of western Burma had played a significant part in disrupting Japanese plans to invade further into India. Having turned the tide, Slim’s 14th Army drove the Japanese back through Burma until their surrender was announced on 15th August 1945. Such was the level of engineering, communication and logistical support that Slim’s plans worked well and saw the Japanese defeated. The Battle Honours of The Royal Gurkha Rifles record these epic battles including, Sittang. Imphal, Mandalay, Meiktila, Tamandu, Chindits and many more. Nine Victoria Crosses were awarded to Gurkha Regiments for Burma. In May 1943 Havildar Gaje Ghale (2/5RGR) was awarded the Victoria Cross for an action in the Chin Hills. Three more Victoria Crosses would be awarded for the fighting around Imphal, while two would be awarded for the Arakan and three as Chindits.

  • Lionhearted Custodians of Pakistan
    Lionhearted Custodians of Pakistan As vindicated by the history, since its independence, Pakistan has produced a class of heroes whose courage, selflessness and resolve remained remarkable throughout. Evidently, the Pakistani soldiers from every generation have given their best in the battlefield for the dignity of nation and respect of their homeland. The heroes of Pakistan definitely understood that a wound inflicted by the enemy to a single member of this nation is a wound inflicted to the whole country, with this courage and inspiration, the lionhearted defenders sacrificed their lives for the honour and prestige of their beloved homeland. As a matter of fact, to remember and commemorate their sacrifices, the whole nation is proud of their martyred heroes and they are still alive in the hearts of millions of people. There are countless such heroes who have fought in different wars such as Pak-Indo wars of 1965, 1971 and 1999 with great determination and sacrificed their lives for their beloved homeland and few of them were honoured with highest military award of “Nishan-e-Haider”. Captain Raja Muhammad Sarwar Shaheed - Punjab Regiment “Captain Raja Muhammad Sarwar Shaheed,” the brave hero of the “Battle of Tilpatra” in the Uri Sector of Kashmir is the winner of first “Nishan-e-Haider” of Pakistan. He was born in the year 1910, in Punjab before the partition of the Sub-continent. During the battle of Tilpatra, Muhammad Sarwar was a Captain in the Pakistan Army where he was appointed as a Signal Officer of the 2 Punjab Regiment in Kashmir. During the clash at Tilpatra Ridge between Indian and Pakistani troops, he volunteered himself to lead the troops to launch an offensive strike on the enemy’s troops.
