HD-158 TAPE NO 1503 A rare glimpse into the daily routines of the Indian Army when in the field in a border station. How emotional for a daughter to have found the only video she has of her father in this recording. From 3:08 - 3:14 in this video, one can see Vitthal Chandrabhan Bhalsing was posted in Kargil, and was sadly martyred on 21st Oct 2006 in Rajouri, Kashmir. We offer obeisance to the fallen soldier of India, thanks to his daughter Pallavi V Bhalsing who noticed and recognized him in our wildfilmsindia video. Army personnel shaving, polishing shoes and some tying their turbans at the army camp in Kargil. After getting ready they go and sit in front of the holy book Guru Granth Sahib before they start to get on with their warm-up. Listening to songs over the radio and eating food
