Here is an interesting story on a brave American Officer who was a part of the Civil War.
1st Lieut Cushing would be decorated with the Medal of Honour this year for bravery displayed 147 years back. The officer died in 1863 at the age of 22.
Cushing, with his 110 men and 6 cannons, stopped the advance of about 13000 confederate infantrymen who were ultimately forced to retreat.

Dear Navdeep,
ReplyDeleteNOT RELATED TO YOUR POST BUT IMPORTANT AS IT EFFECTS ALL HONY NB SUB I THINK IT DESERVES YOUR VALUABLE TIME
As per Page - 2 Hav garnted rank of Hony Nb sub shall be allowed pension of Rs. 226/-.
One side govt has issued orders that Hav granted Hony Rank will be given MINIMUM pension RS 7750 equivalent to Nb sub. WHICH IS MINIMUM OF PAYBAND OF NB SUB +GRADE PAY +MSP WHICH COMES TO RS 7750 EXCLUDING DA
Dear Navdeep YOU HAD GIVEN A POST ON THIS BUT THAT WAS BEFORE COS REPORT I WOULD REQUEST TO CLARIFY WHAT IS THE STATUS NOW AS NOT EVEN SINGLE HONORARY NB SUB IS GETTING THE PENSION OF NB SUB IN MY UNIT I THINK THE ISSUE REQUIRES YOUR CONSIDERATION
