Lance Naik Muhammed Mahfuz Shaheed (Nishan-e-Haider)

Lance Naik Muhammad Mahfuz Shaheed
Born: 25th October, 1944, Pind Malikan (now Mahfuzabad) District of Rawalpindi
Enlisted: 1962 as Sipahi

Serving in the 'A' Company of the 15th Punjab Regiment, when the war started in 1971, Lance Naik Muhammad Mahfuz was deployed on the Wagah-Attari Sector in East Pakistan where his company was pinned down by unceasing frontal and cross fire from automatic weapons. Although his machine gun was destroyed by an enemy shell, Mahfuz advanced towards an enemy bunker whose automatic fire had inflicted heavy casualties. Even though wounded in both legs by shell splinters, when he reached the bunker he stood up and pounced on the enemy, but was hit. Although unarmed and amidst the enemy, he caught hold of one of the enemy and was strangling him when another bayoneted him to death during the night of 17th December 1971.
