Mutiny in India, 1920
When news of the Anglo-Irish War, especially of the behaviour of the British Black and Tan "Auxilliaries" (para-military police), reached the veterans of the 1st Btn at Jalandhar, India, the mutiny began. On 28 June 1920, five men from C Company refused to take orders from the British officers, declaring their intent not to serve the King until the British forces left Ireland. The Union Jack at Jullundur, on the North West Frontier, was replaced by the tricolour flag of the Irish Republic, stitched together by men who had bought lengths of material from the local bazaars. Within three days, the mutiny was stamped out and the mutineers taken to prison camp at Dagshai.
At Solan, rumours began in the Rangers detachement there that the prisoners had been executed. Under the command of Private James Daly, about 70 Rangers joined the mutiny and attacked the armoury. The British guard successfully defended it: Privates Sears and Smyth were killed in firing while others were taken prisoners. On all, about four hundred men had joined the mutiny. Eighty eight men were court martialled for mutiny. Fourteen men were condemned to death, most of the rest were given prison sentences up to 15 years and a few were acquitted. For all except Daly, the death sentences were commuted to life imprisonment. Daly (21, of Tyrrelspass, County Westmeath), was executed by firing squad in Dagshai prison on November 2, 1920, and is the last member of British Forces to be executed for mutiny. Ptes Sears and Smyth were buried at Solan; James Daly and John Miranda (who had died in prison) were buried in Dagshai graveyard.

An Ode To Maj Udai Singh SC,SM 1 PARA SF
Major Udai Singh, SC, SM, 1974-2003
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j167/dagshai/udai1.jpg
Major Udai Singh SC, SM was born at 2.15 pm on Monday October 7, 1974 in Allahbad.
He had a happy, contented childhood spent in small cantonment towns across the country. St. Patricks at Deolali was his first school, after which he studied at St Georges,Agra & APS Delhi. His formative & most memorable years were spent at the Army Public School, Dagshai from where he passed out in 1992.
Not one for academics he excelled in games & sports & other extra curricular activities. He loved his alma mater & was forever grateful for the opportunity he'd had, taking time off to visit it as often as he could in the years to follow.
Udai, graduated from Deshbandhu College, Delhi with an honors degree in Political Science and was soon absorbed as a management trainee with the Taj Mansingh, Delhi. What he aspired to was a career in the Special Forces of the Indian Army
"I do not wish to spend my life waiting on hotel guests" he'd say. "I want to be that 5 star guest".
His ambition was partly fulfilled on passing out from the IMA in June 1997. He was commissioned into the first battalion of the Parachute Regiment.
"My life in the army", he confessed to a friend, " is doomed if I do not clear the probation".
Clear it he did and was with the paltan for five wonderful years before volunteering for the Special Group - the mavericks. He soon became one of them.
His brief career was spent almost entirely in the mountains of Kashmir with a few months here and there given to the short courses run by the army. He did the free fall & the para jumps along with a course in deep sea diving.
He loved what he did never regretting for an instant his choice of career. His life in the army was a source of great pride and enthusiasm. It was all that he had ever wished it to be.
Major Udai Singh is survived by his parents Col. KKK Singh (Retd.), mother Sudha and sister Lalima. They can be contacted at 880, Sector 29, Noida (UP) Tel: 0120 -2451859.
