Vir Chakra (VrC)

Lance Naik Gian Singh was the Bren-gunner of the forward section of his platoon. On 25 November 1948, the section was advancing to capture a hill feature. The enemy position was very close and the axis of advance was only over a ridge. There was deep fall on either side of the ridge. 

Lance Naik Gian Singh, at great personal risk, jumped forward in the face of heavy enemy fire and took a position opposite an enemy LMG post. He fired with all the speed and silenced the enemy LMG. As a result the column could advance and charge the enemy. His remarkable courage was an inspiration to all.
