Lance-Naik Lala Drags A Wounded Officer, Whom He Found Lying Close To The Enemy, To A Shelter And There Bandages His Wounds. Finding a British Officer of another regiment lying close to the enemy, Lance-Naik Lala, of the 41st Dogras Indian Army, dragged him into a temporary shelter. After bandaging his wounds he heard calls from the adjutant of his own regiment, who was lying in the open severely wounded. The enemy were not more than a hundred yards distant, but Lance-Naik Lala insisted on going out to his adjutant. He stripped off his own clothing to keep the wounded officer warmer and stayed with him until just before dark. After dark he carried the first wounded officer back to the main trenches, and then, returning with a stretcher, he carried back his adjutant. He set a magnificent example of courage and devotion to his officers, and was deservedly awarded the V.C. |
