    Service Number: 13550
    Battalion: 5 JAK RIFLES (Jammu And Kashmir Rifles)
    .
    INDO-PAK War of 1947-48
    .
    Location: KASHMIR, NEAR POONCH
    .
    ➡️RELATION: Great Grand Father.
    .
    Motto: “Valour in Battle is Praiseworthy”
    .
    ⚔️Proud to be carrying the blood of a courageous soldier.⚔️
    No wonder where my anger comes from..hahaha
    .
    NOTABLE SOLDIERS FROM JAK RIFLES: [ Capt Vikram Batra (13 Jak Rifles) Param Vir Chakra – The Sher Shah of Kargil. ]
    .
    The regiment’s grimmest hour came during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947. It was their heroic stand that gained time for the entry of the Indian Army and thus saved the KASHMIR VALLEY. It may not be out of place to mention that the Indian people largely owe the State of Jammu and Kashmir to the heroic defensive stand made by the outnumbered and ill-equipped, but highly motivated, J&K State Force.
    .
    They paid a steep price in blood and sacrificed over
    76 officers,
    31 JCOs and,
    1085 Other Ranks.
    .
    For their gallant stand they earned 3 Maha Vir Chakra,
    20 Vir Chakras and,
    52 Mentioned in Despatches.
    .
    Later the Jammu and Kashmir State Force was absorbed en bloc into the Indian Army as a separate regiment.
    .
    Never forget each sacrifice of the courageous..
    .
    Jai Hind!
