On 30 October 1962, Captain R D Rosario, commanding a company of 4 SIKH LI at a bridge on the Sela - Jang Road, took out a patrol to find out the condition of the bridge across river Tawang Chu and to ascertain whether the enemy was making any attempts to reconstruct it. The patrol came under mortar fire. Realizing the danger to his men, he deployed the patrol and moved forward towards the bridge. As he approached within 500 yards of the bridge, the enemy opened a heavy volume of Medium Machine Gun and small arms fire from the far bank of the river. Undaunted, Captain Rosario crawled forward about one hundred and fifty yards from the bridge and collected vital information. In this operation, Captain Rosario remained continuously under heavy enemy mortar, machine gun and small arms fire for over thirty minutes. In subsequent operations Captain Rosario fought gallantry at Sela. Later, while withdrawing, he brought out one officer and six of his men, but himself died from injuries sustained during the action. Captain Rosario displayed exemplary courage, leadership and devotion to duty in traditions of our Army.

On 7 September 1965, Second Lieutenant Virendra Pratap Singh was platoon commander in a company which was ordered to attack the Pakistani post at Kundanpur. Although wounded, he continued to lead his men in the face of intense artillery and small arms fire. Later, finding that his company commander was missing, he took over command. Leading the company, he over-ran the enemy position and captured a number of prisoners, a tank gun and two medium machine guns. In this action, Second Lieutenant Virendra Pratap Singh displayed cool courage, initiative and determination of a high order.

Major Rajendra Kumar Bali was on a liaison visit to the State Reserve Police post in Vigakot in the Kutch area when Pakistani intruders launched an attack on Sardar Post in the early hours of 9 April 1965. After the attack, wireless and telephone communication failed. Soon after, it was reported that Sardar Post had been over-run. Major Bali helped to reorganise the defences in the Vigakot area and encouraged the State Reserve Police personnel stationed there. After two police patrols had failed to reach Sardar Post owing to shelling by the intruders, Major Bali volunteered to take out a patrol although he knew that the post might be in the hands of the intruders. On reaching Sardar Post, he assisted in organizing the defences. He arranged to collect the arms, equipment and documents left behind by the intruders. Subsequently, with three riflemen, he captured four Pakistani intruders and a loaded light machine gun. Again on 15 June, disregarding his personal safety, Major Bali courageously went through his own minefields and captured two intruders who had been trapped there. Throughout, Major Bali displayed cool courage, determination and devotion to duty in the best traditions of the Indian Army.

On the night of 02 November 1965, Subedar Piara Singh was commanding a platoon of 5 SIKH LI. The battalion was ordered to clear a feature in the Mendhar Sector in J & K, which had been encroached upon by Pakistani forces, notwithstanding the cease fire. He led the assault through the minefield in the course of which he lost 25 men to mines and enemy artillery fire, Undaunted by the losses and with total disregard for his own safety, he led the charge on an enemy bunker from where a light machine gun was enfielding another platoon of his company. After silencing light machine gun, he proceeded to the next bunker from where one 84 mm rocket launcher was firing, and holding up further advance. As he threw a grenade into the bunker, both his legs were blown off by the Rocket Launcher, but the grenade he threw killed the occupants of the bunker. A few minutes later he also died, but only after capturing his objective and inspiring his few remaining men to exploit further. In this mission Subedar Piara Singh displayed leadership and indomitable courage and made the supreme sacrifice in the best traditions of the Indian Army.
