At Naushera on 8April1948, during the attack on Barwali ridge, temporary Captain Sansar Singh was commanding a company of 4 Dogra. This old man of 46 took his company forward and crossed the Bhata Nala under heavy enemy automatic and mortar fire. He charged the enemy position and his was the first company to occupy the highest point on this cliff He had hardly consolidated when the enemy started mortaring the position. An enemy counterattack followed immediately. Captain Sansar Singh's company was on one of the flanks where the enemy pressed very hard. One-fourth of Captain Sansar Singh's company, including two platoon comrades, was wounded but his determined men held the flank like a rock.

Captain Sansar Singh gave a fine example of leadership, determination and calmness under very fire.
