Vir Chakra (VrC)

Havildar Tulsi Ram was the commander of a small post at Ramu in Ladakh. He had with him only four militia men. On 19 October 1962, when the post was attacked by the Chinese, these five men held the enemy forces at bay and inflicted approximately 200 casualties on them. Havildar Tulsi Ram himself manned the LMG throughout, bringing it back with him after the post fell. The courage displayed by him was of a high order.
