WW2 1945 1st Bn Chamer Regiment Indian Army Military Medal Group of Four Medals. A very rare regimental example of the Military Medal, being one of only three awarded to this short lived war raised regiment. Awarded to “22247 HAV BHAGAT RAM CHAMER R”. Comprising: Military Medal, 1939/45 Star, Burma Star, War Medal. Mounted for display, PLEASE NOTE attempted eraser of the Regiment. Regimental number and name remains clear. The Recommendation for the award of the Military Medal: “During offensive operations against the Northern flank of the Japanese Sagaing bridge head on 9th March W.S. Havildar Bhaget Ram was in command of a section of three inch mortars supporting a Rifle Company. Although this was the first time he had been in action and despite accurate enemy mortar fire which was falling all around him, he continued to advance unreeling a signal cable as he went and doing his utmost to keep in touch with the Coy Commander. Acting on his own initiative he registered the fire of his mortars on to likely target areas. When the Company was being counter attacked and the Company Commander called for mortar support he was therefore able to quickly and effectively to engage the enemy. It was the fire of these mortars which broke up the counter attack and allowed the Company to continue the operations unhindered. This NCO displayed initiative and coolness under fire and in addition to being an example to all around him won unstinted praise for the work of the mortars from all ranks who were present at the engagement”. The 1st Bn Chamer Regiment was a war raised unit being formed in June 1942, the Chamer is considered in Indian Society as the lowest class of untouchable, their trade being leather work. The Regiment was disbanded in December 1946, this Military Medal represents one of only three awarded to the Regiment. The attempted eraser of the Regimental title, may have been to distance the medal from the Chamer caste.

At Fort Sandeman on the 14th August 1914, ex-head constable Sher Singh after being dismissed from the police got possession of a Pathan’s rifle and a number of rounds of ammunition and attempted to shoot sub-inspector Sundar Singh. He fired at the sub-inspector and missed and then ran to the bazaar where he wounded a local Pathan who died from the effects of the wound. The offender then ran and took cover in a sangar on the hill behind the police rifle butts, and opened fire on the police who were pursuing him. Gulab Shah and seven other policemen ran to cover within 70 yards of where Sher Singh was hiding. Gulad Shah was not content to lie down as soon as he reached cover, but with great gallantry crept up to within 28 yards of the murderer, then stood up, challenged him and took him prisoner. Had Sher Singh’s rifle been loaded at the time he was challenged, Gulab Shah would certainly have lost his life. His brave act secured the surrender of Sher Singh without further bloodshed.’
