Vir Chakra (VrC)

A fighting patrol was sent on 22 September 1948 to raid the enemy position opposite Nimu Hill. After nightlong march, Subedar Parwin Singh completely surprised the enemy, who was three times as strong, and captured the picquet, killing 15. It was sheer good leadership and bravery that made this success possible against a strong enemy.

Later, the Subedar laid down his life while trying to remove a wounded comrade to safety when he received a shrapnel wound in the head. During the whole action he exhibited great gallantry and extreme devotion to duty.
