The following is a list of Victoria Cross recipients during the Waziristan Campaign in northwest British India (now Pakistan) during the 1920s.
Early in the action he received a very severe gunshot wound in the chest, and fell beside his Lewis gun.
When his Jemadar arrived he took the gun from Sepoy Ishar Singh and ordered him to go back and have his wound dressed.
Instead of doing this the Sepoy went to the medical officer, and was of great assistance in pointing out where the wounded were, and in carrying water to them.
On another occasion he stood in front of the medical officer who was dressing, a wounded man, thus shielding him with his body.
