An officer of the Indian Army, IC 57620 P Major Devender Pal Singh, 7th Battalion, The Dogra Regiment, Retired; became a battle casualty of Indo-Pak War- Operation Vijay, 1999 while leading a platoon of 28 men and defending their position at the LOC. He survived to tell his tale.
Recently, my article on his heroic tale was published in a National Magazine detailed below:
Maj DP Singh: International Iconic Runner.
Fauji India: The United Voice of Veterans and Sainiks,
Vol I - Issue 2, Mumbai,
January 2015, p.p 22-24.

Yesterday February 16th 2015, I received an email from Lieutenant Colonel Siva Kumar Thammaiah, 4th Battalion, The Dogra Regiment, Retired; with a soft copy and the following message attached:
Hi Sagat,
Well-written article. On 13 July 1999, DP was my company officer and I was present when he was brought across the Munawar Tawi
Thanks and with Regards,

He forwarded my article after receiving an email with the following text:

I am sharing the article for public review with due permission from Fauji India. Very soon, you will be able to access all the previous magazines online. Do keep a look out for the same.
Fauji India, members of the Indian Defence Services and citizens like me are very proud and inspired by the example set by IC 57620 P Major Devender Pal Singh, 7th Battalion, The Dogra Regiment, Retired. We thank him for his sacrifices for the country and pray that: may he continue to run and achieve greater milestones in life!
