General record

The three brothers served as Generals in 2006 together from February 20 to August 31. Appearing in the 2007 Limca Book of Records,incidentally their village too was featured the same year. Gurha Slathia,a village south of Jammu and their native where two of the brothers are currently settled was in the limelight for nine out of 10 men having served the army and having 14 serving colonels and several Brigadiers at that time. “It was my father Mahatam Singh’s discipline who retired as a Major from the army as well as the regularity of in our village that was a major inspiration for us. While my brothers went through the National Defence Academy,I went through the Technical Grant commission after engineering,” adds Maj Gen RajinderSingh Jamwal,the youngest of the three who after retiring chose to settle down in the city.

Lt Gen Anup Singh Jamwal commissioned in December 1966 and Lt General Kuldip Singh in 1967 both from the regiment of artillery and commissioned into the EME in December 1973,RajinderSingh Jamwal became a General in March. “With the initiative of few friends who went ahead with the procedures,we were enrolled in the national records. It was later a halfhearted attempt to enter the world records however,since I remained very busy we eventually did not go ahead. While in service we have always tried to maintain a low profile and this feat towards the end of it was a pleasant achievement,” says Lt Gen Kuldip Singh Jamwal.

However none of their children have joined any of the Indian Armed Forces. Maj Gen RajinderSingh Jamwal speaking on the achievement adds,“The ambition was always there but this just happened,and is a matter of pride for our army and my family. Wherever we go,there is always a sense of belonging to the place and even now when we have retired the affiliation to the army continues. The only difference is that it’s been a long time and there has been no transfer.”
