Hey Guys just wanted to add some more Pepper and Salt !!!
Eleven years after the Kargil war, Pakistan’s army has officially acknowledged its role by naming 453 soldiers and officers killed in the 1999 conflict.
The soldiers have been named and listed on the army’s official website.
The first page of the long list of martyrs includes the names of Capt Karnal Sher and Havildar Lalak Jan, who were both killed on July 7, 1999, in Kargil and awarded Pakistan’s highest military award, the Nishan-e-Haider.
Several others were posthumously given other gallantry awards like the Tamgha-e-Jurat (medal of courage).
The army also reveals the codename given to the operation to occupy strategic mountains and heights on the Indian side of the Line of Control — “Operation Koh-e-Paima” or Operation Mountain of Resolve. In some cases, the campaign is also referred to as “Operation Kargil”.
Several causes of death are cited for those who died in Kargil — “killed in action”, “enemy action”, “enemy firing”, “enemy artillery shelling” and even “road accident”. The list gives the name, rank, unit, location and nature of death of each casualty.
Even in the middle of the war, the Indian Army had handed over bodies in coffins draped in the Pakistani flag to the Pakistani army at a border crossing near Kargil
