    Brig Yeshwant Desai, AVSM

    Brig Desai Chief Signal Officer 33 Corps

    with Maj Saldana OC 164 Brigade Sig Coy
    Brig Deasi was the the CSO 33 Corps when I was commanding 27 Mtn S Div Sig Regt at Kalimpong during the fateful days of 1971/72
    Later we remained in touch at Delhi, having red my first book 'Letters From The Border' he kept goading me to write another which resulted in 'A Soldiers Journey Through Life with Two Wives'. He invited me to Delhi Gemkhana for a cermonial presentation of the book to the club library.
    A fine gentleman, will be remembered fondly by all who served under or with him.
