| Hav Abdul Hamid |
CQMH Abdul Hamid was serving in 4 GRENADIERS in Khem Karan Sector during the Indo-Pak War of 1965, At 0800 hours on 10 September 1965, Pakistani forces launched an attack with a regiment of Patton tanks on a vital area ahead of village Chima on the Bhikkiwind road in Khem Karan Sector. Company Quarter Master Hav Abdul Hamid, who was commander of a recoilless gun detachment, moved out of a flanking position, with his gun mounted on a jeep, under intense enemy shelling and tank fire. Hav Abdul Hamid's brave action inspired his comrades to put up a gallant fight and to beat back the heavy tank assault by the enemy. His complete disregard to his personal safety during the operation and his sustained act of bravery in the face of constant enemy fire were a shining example not only to his Unit but to the whole Division and were in the highest traditions of the Indian Army.
