Illustrated postcards often celebrated the post offices that made their rapid spread possible. This was a particularly popular postcard even though Cherat, 4,500 feet above sea level, was a distant army cantonment in the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP, now KPK). From here many British military expeditions were launched along the Afghan frontier, and it is likely that Baljee, the photographer who published it, often came through as he accompanied the troops as a military photographer.

Freedom isn't free, it cost a soldier a day !
Lt. General Gul Hassan Khan congratulating SSG Commandos .
Behind him is Brig Akram Syed.
This picture is post 65 war, here he's Brig Gul Hassan, as DMO, meeting SSG individuals who managed to extricate back from India after their para drops behind enemy lines.

A case was taken up to disband SSG due to their apparent dismal performance in 1965 war. However, once the real details came up light.... Bad intelligence, no time for preparation, no recce etc etc,.... The idea was dropped.

Were all involved in the op, SSG? I've heard that it involved regular infantry too.
