Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, PVC (14 Oct 1950 – 16 Dec 1971) • Bursting through a dangerous minefield, Arun Khetarpal of A Squadron moved along to reinforce the B Squadron of the Poona Horse in Shakargarh sector of Pakistan. In the battlefield, where hordes of enemies were devilishly attacking with advanced artillery, he began blowing every goddamn thing that came within range of his Centurion tank (called Famagusta). Indians destroyed ten Pakistani tanks in the straight-up duel of which four were notched by Arun Khetarpal himself. He was injured in skirmish and was ordered by his officer to pull back, but he denied radioing his last “No sir, I’ll not abandon my tank. My gun is still working and I’ll get these bastards.” He shot down one more enemy tank but couldn’t avoid a shell from falling on his Famagusta which ultimately ripped his body apart. He was 21 and had joined the Indian Army only six months ago. • Facebook:- / remembertheirsacrifices
