Farewell, Field Marshal
by Inderjit gill on Jun 27, 2008 03:33 PM   Permalink

Field Marshal was the chief, when I got commission in Dec, 1969. He was the chief,who lead us to wonderful victory in 1971 and Bangla Desh was created.

I still remember his smiling face and words of encouragement given to us during Parchment parade of Staff Course - 38 (1982) in Wellington. He did express his surprise on seeing a SIKH officer as a FOREIGN officer (who was from Malayasian Army)

A true and dedicated soldier, a born leader with charming personality.

May his soul rest in peace. God Bless

Lt Col IS Gill (Retd)
Corps of SIGNALS
