During World War II, I understand all RMOs of combat units were awarded Military Cross. One of them is my Late Cousin Brig KC Ganapathy who was a RMO of an infantry battalion in Italy.

Yes, I think it is equivalent to the Sena Medal (Gallantry). We do award the Sena medal & equivalent for desk jobs too.

Brother Dear,

Thanks much for both your emails! Guess what – we did not know about the gallantry of Maj Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi and other relevant facts associated with him until we received your mail below. I went to Google and found a lot more information about Maj Kalsi and several other articles on Sikhs like the one where the Queen has included Sikh Guards outside the palace and so on!

Thanks again to you for such great pieces.

Any more news on the Reunion?

Love and regards,
KD

Thanks and congrats to Major KS Kalsi.
The Purple Heart is equivalent to our “wound medal” and is not necessarily for gallantry.
