Gibraltar
Missing believed Killed
___
19 Baloch is famous as Mother of Special Services Group SSG
The regiment on its Roll of Honour has men from Operation Gibraltar who operated "behind enemy lines" in 1965
A name on that roll reads:
Capt Nisar Ahmed, SJ | Parent Arm Engineers

Gibraltar, Pakistan’s botched adventure that lead to #SeptemberWar
Other than broad planning parameters that too from our adversary we don’t have a documented narrative
It will be hard to accurately trace Capt Nisar’s actions, but then we come across a letter from officer’s widow

Shemeem Burney Abbas, in a Friday Times Blog brings to light her husband Capt Nisar's last letter delivered after his Shahadat
Nisar mentioned Gulmarg & Pattan, near Srinagar as area of intended operations
Mrs Shemeem, lost a loved one into hostile territory without a trace

Indian accounts tell us of a force named Salahuddin which operated in two columns
One column headed for Gulmarg, while the second to Khag (this name will pop up again in a bit)
The activities on their merit include some major encounters with Indian forces with heavy casualties

Shemeem Abbas in 2015 discovered a memoir on Gibraltar penned by an SSG Commando Alamgir with a mention of her husband
Capt Nisar whom she had hoped to be missing in action all her life was martyred on Aug 13, 1965 and was buried in Village Khag near Srinagar

Nisar was posthumously awarded Sitara e Jurrat
The survivors of his force had to extricate disintegrated and defeated
Indians while retaliating to infiltrators decided to press on with a show
Another day, dear reader, and we shall revisit a story of valiant attack by 2 Sikhs

for my readers interested to read this thread in the format of a blog, the story is on MANI JUNCTION https://www.meemainseen.com/2019/09/gibraltar/
