On 24 August 1965, a company of Sikh battalion attacked an important objective in the Tithwal Sector. When the forward platoon closed in on the enemy post and severe hand-to-hand fighting developed, Lance Havildar Gurdev Singh assaulted with his section. He was severely wounded in the left arm by a splinter. In spite of his injury, he pressed forward the attack, using his bayonet and shooting at the enemy with one hand. He refused to be evacuated, improvised a sling for his wounded arm and joined the attack. Lance Havildar Gurdev Singh's complete disregard for his own safety in the face of the enemy and his unflinching devotion to duty were a source of great inspiration to his men.
