| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In July 2010, the Border Road Task Force (BRTF), while working on road improvement near Walong, uncovered a grave with the remains of a jawan of 4 Dogra who had died in the 1962 war. The battle of Walong occurred in the second phase of the 1962 war during the offensive in the Lohit valley. A bitterly fought battle, it was the only one in which the Indian and Chinese casualties were comparable. Interspersed with some autobiographical fiction, this article gives the account of a part of the battle of Walong where the only counter attack of the 1962 war was launched and the only planned withdrawal took place. |
