On 11/12 March 1944 on the Maungdaw-Buthidaung Road, Burma (now
Myanmar), Naik Nand Singh, commanding a leading section of the
attack, was ordered to recapture a position gained by the enemy.
He led his section up a very steep knife-edged ridge under very
heavy machine-gun and rifle fire and although wounded in the
thigh, captured the first trench. He then crawled forward alone
and, wounded again in the face and shoulder, nevertheless captured
the second and third trenches.
Later achieved rank of Jemadar. |
