Zelig Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Noidan, it's Kargil n not Kargill. Respect for the brave man. Thank you, sir :isalute: Here, is one of my own from my hometown :isalute: Major Mariappan Saravanan (1972–1999) of Bihar Regiment who gave life in a hand to hand combat with intruders during which he killed four intruders in the Batalik area of Kargil Sector on May 29, had completed four years of service on 10 March 1999. Major Sarvanan is possibly the first officer to fall in the Kargil conflict on May 29 1999. The attack led by him came in the early stages of the conflict when adequate information was not available.
