It is very sad news to learn about the passing away of Brig A Basu. We thank Reprtymysignal Blog, for letting us know.
Brig Basu was a thorough gentleman and popular officer, who was ever ready to help fellow officers and men. He was a technical entry officer who took his work very seriously and whatever he did, he was so involved in it. An excellent teacher, he would try his best to explain various technical aspects of the topic he was teaching, till everyone understood.
Brig Basu held very important appointments in the Corps. He was instructor in MCTE, as a field officer in 7 Inf Div Sig Regt he took part in 1965 war and had narrow escape when a Pak aircraft strafed the Regiment area, commanded Central Command Signal Regiment, represented the Country in Moscow as Asst Mil Attache, Jun 1966- Feb 1970, was PMO Plan AREN for 5 long years from Jun 1972-Jun 1977 and later CSO 4 Corps.
His contributions to the Corps and the Army were tremendous. In his passing away, we have lost a great signaller, who contributed immensely and did his utmost for the Service. He will be missed by one and all in the Corps.
Our deepest condolences to the bereaved family and prayers for the departed soul of our respected colleague.

Brig Aniles Basu
It was sad to learn about the demise of Brig Aniles Basu. I had the opportunity to serve with him as his Adjutant in Central Comd Sig Regt from Jan to Oct 1970. He had returned from Moscow, where he served as an AMA in Indian Embassy for three years. As bachelors we had liberty of enjoying Brig & Mrs Basu's hospitality at a short notice.
He was great CO who had full faith in his team. Though an intellectual he had great regard for the Army. I was selected for PC (being an ex-ECO) and also nominated for SODE 27 through an entrance examination, for which he personally took classes for elecronics in the evenings.
I had also prepared for IAS & Allied Services exam for more than a year. I requested him to get my name withdrawn from SODE to have a crack at the Civil services. He convinced me that there is nothing to beat the Army and Corps of Signals. I changed my mind and tore off my roll No. card in his presence.
Last we met was at the Corps Reunion 1996. He had promised come to Chandigarh and stay with us. That never materialised. He was a great human being and took great pleasure in helping and bringing up young officers.
With regards
Brig Kirpal Singh Grewal (Retd)
