Martyred 11 sep 1965.
AWARDS: SWORD OF HONOUR. NISHAN-E-HAIDER.
On 6 September 1965, as a
Company Commander in the
Burki area of the Lahore sector,
Major Raja Aziz Bhatti choose
to stay with his forward
platoon under incessant
artillery and tank attacks for
five days and nights in the
defence of the strategic BRB
Canal. Throughout, undaunted
by constant fire from enemy
small arms, tanks and artillery.
He was reorganizing his
company and directing the
