Vir Chakra (VrC)

Sepoy Mohan Singh was with the assaulting company during an attack on an enemy feature in the Rajasthan Sector on 13 December 1971. When his platoon reached near the objective, it came under intense and accurate fire from an enemy heavy machine gun located on the flank. Sepoy Mohan Singh with another sepoy charged the enemy machine gun post with utter disregard for his personal safety. He was seriously wounded in his left leg by an MMG burst. Unmindful of his injuries he crawled to the enemy bunker and silenced the medium machine gun. This enabled the company to capture the objective. In this action, Sepoy Mohan Singh displayed gallantry, determination and devotion to duty of a high order.
