(d.25th Oct 1944)

Ram Sarup Singh was 25 years old, and an Acting Subadar in the 2nd Battlion, 1st Punjab Regiment when he was awarded the VC.

On 25 October 1944 at Kennedy Peak in the Tiddim area, Burma, two platoons were ordered to attack a strong Japanese position. The platoon commanded by Subadar Singh attained its objective and although Singh was wounded in both legs he insisted on carrying on. Later, the enemy's counter-attack was halted by Subadar Singh's dashing counter-charge in which he killed four of the enemy himself. He was again wounded, but continued to lead his men, killing two more of the enemy, until he was mortally wounded."
