On the night of 25 August 1965, Major R. S. Dyal led an assault on Sank in J&K. It was stalled by heavy Pakistani fire. Acting with cool courage, Major Dyal managed to extricate his company intact and on the following night he again led an assault and captured Sank. He pursued the enemy relentlessly and fighting with great zeal captured Ledwali Gali by 1100 hours on 27 August. Thereafter, marching by night through very difficult terrain, he took the enemy by surprise and at 1100 hours on 28 August, captured Haji Pir Pass. In this action, a Pakistani officer and 11 Pakistani other ranks were taken prisoner. On the following morning, Major Dyal deployed a platoon to capture another feature. Seeing that our patrol had come under heavy enemy fire, he immediately went to help it with another platoon. In the face of heavy enemy machine gun and mortar fire, he led his two platoons in a lightning attack as a result of which the enemy fled in confusion. | On the night of 25 August 1965, Major R. S.
