Governor eulogises the Indian Army for its heroics

Jammu, Mar 16 (UNI) Eulogising the heroic role of the Indian Army in war as well as peace, Jammu and Kashmir Governor Lieutenant General (Retd) S K Sinha today said the army has scripted a saga of valour during its chequered military history.

Speaking at a function to disburse relief to the World War II veterans of Jammu and Kashmir, provided by Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League (RCESL) here today, Gen Sinha said Winston Churchill, former Prime Minister of Britain, had recognised the contribution of the Indian Army by saying that never had such a huge force of volunteers been raised.

General Sinha, himself a surviving World War veteran, referred to the two century old Indo-British association saying both the countries have gained and lost from each other.
