APPENDIX -3 HONOURS & AWARDS

APPENDIX -3 

HONOURS & AWARDS

This Appendix lists the honours and awards earned by personnel of the Corps of Signals between 15 August 1947 and 31 December 1972. It includes personnel who were serving with non-signal units, on staff and on attachment or deputation. The list has been divided in two parts. Part I contains gallantry awards while Part II covers awards for distinguished service. Some awards for the 1971 war were given in 1972. These have been included in the list.

The lists have been prepared based on inputs from the Military’s Secretary’s Branch and Directorate General of Signals in Army HQ; Signals Records; the Corps Museum; and lists published in the Signalman. There are several discrepancies in the lists, with regard to the rank, spelling of the name and date of award, especially in the case of awards for distinguished service. An attempt has been made to correct these by referring to the unit war dairies and interaction with the concerned personnel. However, some inconsistencies could not be resolved, which the reader is requested to overlook.
