"During the same operation(*), Naik Dalbahadur Gurung, a member of "A" Company, saw a number of casualties of the 1st Battalion, the Leicestershire Regiment lying out on the ground about 5C yards in front of his position.
Under heavy fire from all sides, this Non-Commissioned Officer twice ran out and succeeded in bringing in a wounded man each time.
He showed great gallantry in the face of the enemy and undoubtedly
risked his life to save British soldiers.
