To honour the legendry war veteran of Pakistan Air Force, Group Captain Cecil Chaudhry (Late), Government of Pakistan has renamed a part of Lawrence Road (the road in front of St. Anthony School) as Cecil Chaudhry Road. The renaming ceremony was held at St Anthony High School on Saturday.
Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Central Air Command Commanding Air Officer Air Vice Marshal Mujahid Anwar Khan was the chief guest on the occasion.
While addressing the event, the chief guest said, “Cecil Chaudhry was amongst the distinguished breed of air warriors to whom we all are indebted. He was a legendry pilot and a true patriot, who displayed unflinching courage, exemplary devotion and sheer professionalism throughout his service. The services rendered by him significantly contributed towards achieving air superiority by the PAF during the Indo-Pak war of 1965.”
“The legacy of Group Captain Cecil Chaudhry would remain alive forever, in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers,” he further said.
The ceremony was attended by friends and family members of the war hero, important personalities of the Christian community and significant civil and military dignitaries.
This is commendable and very appropriate. Cecil Choudhry was a truly great man, a very great Pakistani. May God bless his soul.
