On 16/17 February 1945 at Kanlan Ywathit, Burma (now yanmar),
Jemadar Prakash Singh was commanding a platoon which took the
main weight of fierce enemy attacks. He was wounded in both
ankles and relieved of his command, but when his second-in-command
was also wounded, he crawled back and took command again, directing
operations and encouraging his men. Being again wounded in both
legs, he continued to direct the defence, dragging himself from
place to place by his hands. When wounded a third time and dying,
he lay shouting the Sikh battle-cry, so inspiring his company
that the enemy were finally driven off. Killed In the above
action.
