On the 27th July 1948, As Captain Mohammad Sarwar moved forward with six of his men to cut their way through a barbed wire enemy's barrier, he Martyred when his chest was riddled by a burst of heavy machine gun fire.

During the Kashmir Operations soon after the birth of Pakistan, as Company Commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Punjab Regiment, Captain Sarwar launched an attack causing heavy casualties against a strongly fortified enemy position in the Uri Sector under heavy machine gun, grenade and mortar fire. But on the 27th July 1948, as he moved forward with six of his men to cut their way through a barbed wire barrier, he martyred when his chest was riddled by a burst of heavy machine gun fire.—Malik Mubashir Zeeshan
