Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif visited the Lahore Garrison on Tuesday and participated in the commemorations for the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the 11th Infantry Division, nicknamed Battle Axe Division.
Speaking to the participants, the army chief said the history of Pakistan Army bore testimony to the fact that its soldiers had displayed unprecedented resolve and dedication by laying down their lives for defence of the motherland.
He said the Division’s exceptional performance in the Indo-Pak wars and its contributions in the ongoing war on terrorism amply substantiated its phenomenal standing as a fighting entity.
The COAS further said the victories at the Khem Karan and Hussainiwala sectors spoke volumes of the valour displayed by all ranks associated to the Division.
