[3] By October 1914, the regiment, as part of the 7th (Meerut) Division, was in the frontlines during the First Battle of Ypres[4] and later in the Pas-de-Calais sector where it would remain until going into reserve at the end of that year.

[7] The VC, instituted in 1856, was the highest award for valour that could be bestowed on a soldier of the British Empire.

During our attack on the German position he was one of a bayonet party with bombs who entered their main trench, and was the first man to go round each traverse, driving back the enemy until they were eventually forced to surrender.

He was killed during this engagement.Negi has no known grave; his name is recorded on the Neuve-Chapelle Memorial, as Gabar Sing [sic] Negi.
