    Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw


    From: Cdr Arun Saigal

    I reproduce below Adm Nanda's sentiments recorded in Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw's condolence book at the Amar Jawan Jyoti India Gate on Tues 01 July 2008:

    I pay my respects and admiration on behalf of the Officers and Men of the Indian Navy that I proudly commanded in 1971. I have many fond personal memories of the times spent together planning the liberation of East Pakistan.
    Dear friend and colleague R.I.P

    Signed
    Admiral SM Nanda
    CNS 1971
