209542 Jmdr. Abdul Hafiz VC. British Indian Army 9th Jat Regiment from:India (d.6th Apr 1944) Abdul Hafiz was a 19 years Jemadar in the 9th Jat Regiment when he was awarded the VC. "On 6 April 1944 north of Imphal, India, Jemadar Abdul Hafiz was ordered to attack with his platoon a prominent position held by the enemy, the only approach to which was across a bare slope and then up a very steep cliff. The Jemadar led the assault, killing several of the enemy himself and then pressed on regardless of machine-gun fire from another feature. He received two wounds, the second of which was fatal, but he had succeeded in routing an enemy vastly superior in numbers and had captured a most important position."
