Abdul Hafiz (VC)
Rao Abdul Hafiz Khan (4 September 19256 April 1944) was an Indian Muslim Rajput recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. He was the youngest Indian recipient of the award.
== Details ==
He was 18 years old, and serving as Jemadar in the 9th Jat Regiment, British Indian Army during World War II, when he performed the deeds for which he was awarded the VC.
On 6 April 1944, during the Battle of Imphal, Jemadar Rao Abdul Hafiz Khan was ordered to attack with his platoon a prominent position held by the enemy, the only approach to which was across a bare slope and then up a very steep hill. The Jemadar led the assault, himself killing several of the enemy, pressing on regardless of machine-gun fire. He received two wounds, the second of which was fatal; but he had succeeded in routing an enemy vastly superior in numbers, and had captured a most important position.
