| Sepoy Chatta Singh digging cover, under fire, for his wounded officer after binding up his wounds.
Leaving cover, Sepoy Chatta Singh, of the 9th Bhopal Infantry, went to the assistance of his commanding officer, which was wounded and helpless in the open. He bound up the officers wounds and then dug cover for him with his entrenching tools, being exposed all the time to very heavy rifle fire. For five hours, until nightfall, he remained beside the wounded officer, shielding him with his own body on the exposed side. He then, under cover of darkness, went back for assistance and brought the officer into safety. He was awarded the V.C. for most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. |
