When the battlefield was reached on February 10th, the soldiers were discovered frozen, still clutching their weapons and bearing the wounds of battle. The extraordinary courage of Charlie Company was recognized with one Param Vir Chakra, eight Vir Chakras, four Sena Medals, and one Mentioned-in-Dispatches – making it one of the most decorated companies in Indian Army history.
