GOLDEN JUBILEE OF THE GAJRAJ CORPS 2 Oct - 6 Oct 2012 Col A. Krishnaswami VrC VSM** During the middle of August this year, it was a pleasant surprise for me and my wife to receive intimation from HQ 4 Corps (Gajraj corps) through a very polite and cordial letter that the Corps was in the Golden Jubilee year of its raising and that, it being historic, celebrations befitting the occasion were planned. To further boost our spirits, the letter added that in the history of the Corps, contributions of gallant war heroes were remembered with great reverence and respect.
