Lt Gen KJ Singh bade a befitting \u2018Farewell to Arms\u2019 by returning to his first love in 63 Cavalry Garages. He was very affably received by his Senior Subaltern of yesteryears Colonel Manbir Singh Hundal (Retd.), who was the very person to receive him when he joined the Regiment at Ambala in 1977 and when he came on posting in Chandimandir as the Army Commander. He returned to the very battle tank which he maintained with elan and pride as its driver, as part of the battle crew. This T-55 classic tank, marked as ZX 1685 was entrusted to the young Second Lieutenant \u00a0KJ Singh by the \u00a0then Commanding Officer as being a part of the Young Officer\u2019s unit\u2019s initiating programme way back in Jun1977.\u00a0 This tank was repositioned at Khasa near Amritsar from Jandiala where it is currently located. Today Lt Gen KJ Singh returned \u2018home\u2019 to the unit where he was commissioned and spent his final day in uniform with this vintage war machine as also his Comrades in Arms as a befitting tribute and final farewell to arms. With nostalgic memories he spoke of the good times, also the heat and dust which forms a part of Cavalryman\u2019s active service. While reminiscing the golden days of his service career the General Officer noted that Army is one of the noblest of professions and should attract the best talent that the Nation has to offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amritsar, July 31 (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211; Today saw the culmination of an illustrious career spanning almost four decades, in the Indian Army an association of more than 50 years combining Sainik School, NDA &amp; IMA.
