Battle of Dograi
Fighting on the Ichhogil canal at the edge of Lahore, among the closest Indian forces came to the city.
In September 1965 Indian forces crossed the border towards Lahore and reached the Ichhogil canal, a defensive line on the edge of the city.
Dograi, a village on the canal, was taken and lost and taken again in fierce fighting. On 21 and 22 September the 3rd Jat Battalion under Lieutenant Colonel Desmond Hayde retook it in a night attack with heavy hand-to-hand fighting.
The ceasefire came the next day. Dograi was among the closest Indian forces came to Lahore, and was returned under the Tashkent Agreement.
