Names of Brave Jats in Army operations

Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE)

Victoria Cross

The Victoria Cross (VC) is the highest military decoration which is, or has been, awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" to members of the armed forces of various Commonwealth countries, and previous British Empire territories. It takes precedence over all other orders, decorations and medals. It may be awarded to a person of any rank in any service and civilians under military command. It is usually presented to the recipient, or their next of kin, by the British monarch during an investiture held at Buckingham Palace, or by the Governor-General for awards made by other Commonwealth countries. The VC was introduced on 29 January 1856 by Queen Victoria to reward acts of valour during the Crimean War. Due to its rarity, the VC is highly prized and the medal can reach over £400,000 at auction.

The names of Jat recipients of Victoria Cross are:

  • Risaldar Badlu Singh - Indian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry on 23 September 1918 in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
  • Subedar Richhapal Ram Lamba - Victoria Cross award, which is a record of bravery unparallel in Indian Army,for his brave deeds on 7 February 1941.

Param Vir Chakra

The Param Vir Chakra (PVC) is India's highest military decoration awarded for the highest degree of valour or self-sacrifice in the presence of the enemy, similar to the British Victoria Cross, US Medal of Honor, or French Legion of Honor or Russian Cross of St. George. It can be, and often has been, awarded posthumously. It replaced the former British colonial Victoria Cross (VC).


Maha Vir Chakra

The Maha Vira Chakra (MVC) is the second highest military decoration in India and is awarded for acts of conspicuous gallantry in the presence of the enemy, whether on land, at sea or in the air. The medal is made of standard silver and is circular in shape. Embossed on the obverse is a five pointed heraldic star with circular center-piece bearing the gilded state emblem of India in the center. The words "Mahavira Chakra" are embossed in Devanagari and English on the reverse with two lotus flowers in the middle. The decoration is worn on the left breast with a half-white and half-orange riband about 3.2 cm in width, the orange being near the left shoulder.
