A rare photo of General Hamid Gul.This picture was taken when General was on war exercise along with his troops in Tamewali Desert near Bahawalpur as GOC 1st Armoured Division. It was the time when Indians moved their troops in Rajistan Desert as part of operational exercise BRASSTACK which was threatening Pakistan.Rajiv Gandhi, the Indian Prime Minister then,was threatening to declare war on Pakistan.The war was averted by the successful diplomacy and strategy employed by General Zia ul Haq and tactics implemented by General Hamid Gul. He moved all his troops in one night to an operational location near khanewal / Chichawatni in a strategic move. Here Gen HG used principal of war, Strategic surprise and employed his troops.One can see burnt skin on his fore head where he wore the cap as he was living full time in desert.Like a good field commander, he was always on the move from one unit to another seeing for himself full operational prepardness.In the picture, he is napping in a dry tributary with his head resting on a camp stool.One can also see his arm resting on a malaka cane with out any support underneath. A true soldier to the hilt.View attachment 763979
