Vir Chakra (VrC)

On 17 July 1948, Rifleman Rewat Singh was in the forward section during an attack. This section was counter-attacked by the enemy and the No. 1 Bren gunner was severely wounded. In spite of the incessant enemy fire, Rifleman Rewat Singh carried him back to a place of safety and then assisted his section. In this grim battle, which lasted four hours, he was only survivor of the section. He kept the enemy at bay by sweeping the whole enemy position with his Bren gun.

His courage and coolness were exemplary.
