On 6th February 1948, Naik Jadunath
Singh, 1 Rajput (now the 4 Guards), was commanding the forward picket -
No.2 at Tain Dhar. On 0640 hours, the enemy attacked the post. Naik Singh
and his small force of nine men devastated the enemy lines and soon they
broke into retreat. The enemy attacked the post again. When all men, including
himself, were wounded, he took over the Bren Gun from the Bren Gunner. Efficiently
deploying his men, Naik Singh thwarted this attack too. By now all his men
had become casualties. The enemy put in a last and final attack. Naik Singh,
wounded and alone, charged towards the enemy firing his sten gun. The enemy
again fled in disorder. At a most critical stage in the battle, he saved
his picket from being overrun by the enemy. He met a gallant death when
he was hit by two enemy bullets on the head and the chest....
