On 22 September 1965, Second Lieutenant Reet Mohinder Pal Singh was leader of a tank troop, which was ordered to capture an enemy position in the Lahore Sector. Having reached within 400 yards of the enemy position, he came upon an enemy minefield. Despite enemy shelling, he dismounted from his tank in order to find a suitable crossing place for his troop. Although wounded in the chest and right arm, he completed the reconnaissance. He was again hit by a shell-burst which wounded him severely in the face.

In this action, Second Lieutenant Singh displayed courage and leadership ofa high order.
