The inscription on the war memorial at Rezang la.
How can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his father's
And the temple of his Gods.
To the sacred memory of
The heroes of Rezang - la
114 martyrs of 13 Kumaon
Who fought
To the last man last round
Against hordes of Chinese
on
16 Nov 1962
Built by all ranks
13th Battalion the Kumaon Regiment
Greetings from the Kumaon Regiment on Rezang La day.
We pay our respects to Maj Shaitan Singh and 114 brave
soldiers of C Coy, 13 Kumaon who stood steadfast and
made the Supreme Sacrifice....
My take
Namann. Shradhaanjalee!
Tailpiece.
Got up at a trifle before 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 9.
To the Rajah Petrol Pump to fill the Chevy with fuel and to check tyre pressure.
A quiet evening.
