We are in the process of gathering additional information about this fallen soldier and are putting painstaking efforts in scouring the data available in public domain, towards that end. You may appreciate that it is a humongous task to curate the information about all the martyrs since 1947 and the endeavor demands huge amount of time and resources. Thus, we need the support of the martyr’s family members, former Unit or Formation colleagues, other comrades and friends in this regard. Please share any information about this soldier, if you have, by virtue of your association with him to make his profile comprehensive and inspirational. The information may be in the form of text, photographs or video clips and may be sent as and when available, since the information is dynamically updated.
We would immensely appreciate your valuable assistance in sharing your knowledge about the inspirational journey of this spirited soldier. We look forward to your help in our mission of spreading awareness about the sacrifices of the fallen heroes of our Armed Forces, who gave it all for our brighter tomorrow.

2022 at 11:32 amI can remember him from my school days when he used to be a Lt. Col. as an Instructor at the Infantry School in Mhow.
We played golf together & used to meet at the Central India Club. My father was doing Commandant School of Signals—this was early 1960s.
Story goes—he was leading his Brigade from the front, during the 1965 Operations, when his jeep hit a landmine & he was killed.
He was a fine person to know & a very good friend—God bless his soul.

2022 at 11:54 amFurther to my previous comment—I think is initials should read B.F. & not B.S.
There is also a road named after him, in Mhow.

2023 at 1:10 pmI spotted his name on the war memorial during republic day telecast 2023.
It reads BRIG B. S. MASTER.
Is there a spelling mistake or two different people?
