Citation:

On 16 May, 1965, in the Kargil Sector in J & K our troops were ordered to capture a dominating feature held by the enemy forces in depth, from where they were bringing down accurate 3 inch mortar, light machine gun and small arms fire on the leading troops. Without regard for danger, Havildar Girdhari Lal, who was in the leading section, kept encouraging his men to advance. When one of the light machine gunner fell under heavy fire, he picked up the gun and charged the enemy bunker and killed its occupants, but was himself killed in doing so.

In this action, Havildar Girdhari Lal displayed exemplary bravery and devotion to duty, in the best traditions of the Army
