Vir Chakra (VrC)

Throughout the advance from Skanpur to Biangdangdo, Captain Kartar Singh kept up with the forward line. On 24 November 1948 during the attack n an enemy position, two of our men were wounded seriously. Captain Kartar Singh, with complete disregard for his personal safety, immediately rushed forward through enemy fire and dressed the wounded and evacuated them to safety. On 2 December, when our troops launched an attack on an enemy position, Captain Kartar Singh was among the first to reach the objective. There were five casualties, all severely wounded in the head. It was entirely due to the courage and resourcefulness of Captain Kartar Singh that they were given immediate treatment, thereby saving them from much loss of blood.

Throughout his service with the battalion, he showed great courage and devotion to duty.
