Captain Muhammad Sarwar (Shaheed)
Nishan-e-Haider

Born in Lyalipur (Faisalabad) in 1910 in a family from Sanghori, District Rawalpindi and commissioned in Punjab regiment in 1944. In 1948 less then one year after independence, a war broke ok between India and Pakistan over Kashmir. During this war Indian forces positioned themselves on a mountain from where they could easily target Pakistani forces, therefore it was essential for Pakistan to take away that mountain from enemy. Sarwar launched an attack on enemy positions in the Uri Sector causing heavy casualties against a strongly equipped enemy. Sarwar’s company came under heavy grenade, mortar and machinegun fire when it was within fifty yards of enemy. Sarwar was losing men constantly and by now he was also hit in the shoulder and he was bleeding badly, but he kept moving and got to the barbed wire. Sarwar wanted to cut this wire and launch final strike to capture the mountain. As caption was cutting the wire he was hit again, this time in the chest and he fell. That’s how Caption Muhammad Sarwar sacrificed his life for the country and his men captured the territory. For his bravery and great leadership, Sarwar was awarded the highest military award, Nishan-e-Haider.
