Vir Chakra (VrC)

On the night of 7 September 1965, Subedar EM. Gregary was serving as Subedar adjutant of a battalion, which was ordered to capture Maharajke. Finding that the battalion, after reaching near the objective, could not advance further because of heavy enemy fire, the commanding officer asked Subedar Gregary to take a section and attack the enemy from the rear. Having cleared the trenches by throwing grenades, Subedar Gregary attacked the enemy from the rear and carried out his task successfully, killing five of the enemy and wounding one. 

In this encounter, Subedar Gregary displayed courage and leadership of a high order.
