The second picture is that of Maj Hasan Iftikhar, OC, 22 Field Regt Arty (SSG). He was also the mission commander/team leader of the SSG raid on Halwara in 1965. There is an interesting story about this Qaiser-e-Hind fort battle close to Ferozepur. This position right above where the Pakistani flag is, was manned by some Sikh troops and in general the fort was well defended. The Indians put up a stout resistance but were eventually overwhelmed with about 6 Artillery regiments opening up along with armor being employed at close range against the fortified Indian positions (damage can be seen in the photos above). This was an 18 hour long operation which finally resulted in the capitulation of Indian positions in and around the fort. Both sides fought with great elan.

The Commander Artillery in this sector was none other than Brig Akhtar Abdul Rehman (later CJCS).

but you can aim and shoot, are you supposed to lie down during an assault?

Since generally sniper rifles are heavier than normal rifles, and since being a sniper pinpoint accuracy is required, therefore snipers normally use whatever position can be found in order to stabilize the gun as well as the firer.....

A sniper may fire standing as well in extreme emergencies only, otherwise if time is available, he will always choose the best position which gives his arm muscles rest, gun stabilizes, and reduces the exposure of the sniper to the minimum....all this is normally is not achieved in standing position...
