Order of the day by the Commander In Chief of the Pakistan Army, 1965

[Yazp]

"Officers and men of the great Pakistani Army, this is the hour of trial and glory. The Indians, like all deceitful aggressors have attempted to cross into Pakistani territory since the early hours of this morning in Jassar, Wagah and Bedian. This they have done in their typically cowardly manner without declaring war.
Our gallant troops defending these areas have stopped the enemy's advances and have inflicted heavy casualties on the intruders. Within hours of the start of the fighting our forces have stabilised the situation and are in complete control of it.
This treacherous attack by India on our sacred soil has afforded our Army and opportunity to prove to the Indian warlords that Pakistan is fully capable of defending itself and delivering crushing blows to any aggressor. I know everyone in the Army is fully prepared for battle and the time has now come fore everyone in the army to make a supreme effort to destroy the enemy.
The future of our country and the fate of our generations to come depend on your actions. You and the other two services, as defenders of the country, provide a bulwark of faith and determination against the evil designs of the enemy.
I am certain, you will stake your all to defend each and every inch of sacred soil of Pakistan. Destroy the enemy troops who dare to tread on our soil. You will be making history by inflicting a final defeat on the forces of aggression unleashed by India. The nation is looking up to you to defend the homeland.
Inshallah, you will prove equal task. March forward with the grit and determination for which you are well known for all over the world. God willing, victory will be yours."

Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistan Army on the 6th of September, 1965.

@ It reminds my old days. At that time I was a student of class III and reading in Cantt Public High School.(presently Federal School & College) Nowshera beside the famous road of "Sharai Sher shah". After the start of war, Indian fighter planes used to come very frequently over the sky of Nowshera. Some times we used to enjoy dog fight between Pakistani & Indian planes. One day, the Indian planes came and dropped bomb at Resalpur at midnight and it was clearly visible from our house.How many Brigades and Divisions were there in Nowshera I have no idea but saw many tanks as it was the Armoured Centre & School.
