Please share any information about this soldier, if you have, by virtue of your association with him to make his profile comprehensive and inspirational.

2025 at 7:38 amI served with a Field Regiment in the same Artillery Brigade of which 85 Lt Regt was a part of in the 1965 War. Maj Deo was a cheerful and popular Officer of our Brigade. I had the honour of escorting Mrs Deo to the spot where Major Deo had attained martyrdom. God Bless a fine Officer and Gunner like Maj Deo.
