Battle of Chamb and Dogra



In the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 Pakistani infantry supported by M48 Patton tanks advanced towards Indian-held Chhamb. They succeeded in destroying an entire squadron of Indian AMX-13 tanks and capturing several 25-pounder field guns, one of which was promptly nicknamed "Chhamb Di Rani" (The Queeen of Chhamb), which was used in the campaign against its original owners.
