I read the trials and tribulations of Maj Rastogi OC 7 Brigade Signal Company, with amusement and nostalgia. I had commanded the same company in 1962, when it was a only a section and a captain's command, (those interested can refer to my book 'Letters From the Border" covering the ill fated op Leghorn). It is always the fate of Seven Brigade to fight an unplanned war. Even our commander Brig Dalvi was taken prisoner a fate worse than being sacked. My congratulations to Rastogi to have penned the incident. Yes, 4 grenadiers was also one of our battalions during 1962 Sino Indian conflict at the tri- junction of India, Tibet and Bhutan border in the Keming Forward Defences of North East Frontier Agency (NEFA) as it was then known. Truly down the memory lane!
