When the Indian troops were advancing towards Lahore in 1965, they faced
severe resistance from the Pakistani armed forces. To boost the morale,
the Indian commander told the troops on the wireless communication that
Lahore is only 2 - 3 miles away.
At that time, the communications were not encrypted and both forces could intercept each others' communication.
One of the Pakistani officer also heard this conversation from his bunker. There was a sign near the bunker which read "Lahore - 14 Miles". He got out from the bunker, took the sign and moved towards the advancing Indian troops for two furlongs and posted a modified sign there. It now read "Lahore - 14.2 Bloody Miles "
WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAAPY DEFENCE DAY
