Born in 1913 in Badrukhan, Punjab, Lt Gen Harbaksh Singh served with distinction in World War II and later as Western Army Commander during the 1965 war. His leadership in the Battle of Khem Karan was key in halting a major Pakistani offensive. By flooding sugarcane fields to trap Pakistani tanks, he ensured a decisive Indian counterattack.
