Phraya Si Sitthisongkhram

[1] Din Tharab studied at a military academy in Imperial Germany where he was a classmate with Phot Phahonyothin and Thep Phanthumasen.

He was invited by his two classmates to join the Khana Ratsadon (People's Party) to revolutionize Siam, but he refused.

An outspoken royalist, on 11 October 1933, he joined Prince Boworadet in a rebellion to restore power to King Rama VII, who had surrendered it the previous year to the People's Party after its successful coup.

Initially, the Rebellion positioned itself at Don Mueang and Bang Khen, on the northern outskirts of Bangkok.

Phraya Si Sitthisongkhram was shot and killed near Hin Lap railway station by Lieutenant Praphas Charusathien, who 40 years later would become one of the "three tyrants" deposed in the October 1973 uprising.
