Vir Chakra (VrC)

On 5 November 1947 night, when a company of 1 Sikh was in position on the Srinagar Baramula Road, Sepoy Sarjan Singh was No. 1 of the Bren gun. The tribesmen attacked the position and got a footing on the bridge, which Sepoy Sarjan Singh was covering with his Bren gun. The enemy tried to cut the wire put across the bridge as an obstacle. On hearing this, Sepoy Sarjan Singh without regard for his life crawled forward with hand grenades and dealt with the enemy. Next morning four bodies of the enemy were found near the wire.

This act of bravery not only inspired his comrades but also helped in saving the situation.
