Rann of Kutch | The Short Lived Affair
*14 Abbasia*
___
At PMA, a few days before passing out our units were announced
I got invited on dinner & presented unit shield of 14 Abbasia
There on unit emblem was etched "RAN OF KUTCH"
My unit saw action in a prelude to #SemptemberWar
It was heartening to see 14 Field Regiment marked in sand dunes near Rahim ki Bazar on a map marking in @capt_amarinder's "The Monsoon War"
The unit provided fire support and Forward Observation Officers (FOOs) during 18 Punjab and 8 FF attack on Sardar Post on ni 8/9 Apr 1965
Interestingly 18 Punjab lost direction at night and attacked the objective of 8 FF instead
In the confusion that followed Brigade Commander called off the attack
As per Indian Commander, had the attack persisted for a while Pakistani troops would have captured Sardar Post
