WW2 Burma Star (single medal only) – awarded to Naik UJAGAR SINGH of the 15^th Punjab Regiment

You are looking at a single WW2 Burma Star awarded to UJAGAR SINGH of the 15^th Punjab Regiment of the Indian Army.

The medal is inscribed ‘8202 NK. UJAGAR SINGH, 15 PUNJAB R.’

‘Naik’ is a non-commissioned Indian Army rank equivalent to a corporal in the British Army.

The 15^th Punjab Regiment had numerous battalions during WW2, many seeing service against Japanese forces in the Far East, with the 3^rd Battalion serving outside of the area in Somaliland and Italy......The regiment became part of the Pakistan Army when they achieved independence in 1947.

There are a number of UJAGAR SINGHS listed within the military records, but no records can be found for this soldier with the information that is available.
