Talk:Moreh, India

I heard of Moreh in 1962,would have gone there but the course of the Chinese unilateral cease fire and return to their line of actual control changed our plan.I was one among about 100 airmen of the IAF stationed at Dimapur during this conflict.Our only Officer and CO a Pilot was called to Tezpur.We had no weapons except for a sten gun and signal pistols and in hostile Naga environment our security was the responsibility of an army unit which moved to the front line taking away our vehicles.If the Chinese reached the Siliguri corridor we would be cut off from the rest of India.We held a brain storming session to assess our condition.The Chinese used to kill individual or small lot captives so we would not be treated as POW's.The hostile Nagas would treat us no better.I had some knowledge of Geneva Conventions on treatment of surrendering combatants,suggested that with the help of one of our Manipuri comrades Leading Aircraftsman Tombi Singh, we cross over to Burma via Manipur which was about 200 odd Km away.We had some fuel Bousers on which we could clamber for the 2 day road journey.Except utmost necessary personal kit,money/valuables ,identity cards,rations ,fuel ,first aid medicines and vehicle spares we would abandon everything. Our plan was to reach Moreh,cross to Tamu in Burma and surrender to the Burmese authorities.Under International law,the Geneva Convention on treatment of surrendering Combatents we would be interned and our Embassy in Rangoon informed by the Burmese.My plan was accepted unanimously and we celebrated with a lot of ration Rum.By the morning Chinese declared cease fire and intention of withdrawal to their line of control.Our CO flew in and took control of the unit.Luckily we did not destroy either personal or service property.Our escape plan was abandoned.

Meaning of "Moreh"
According to the text I found, Moreh meant "I'm tire." As this is not good English, I corrected it to "I'm tired." I hope that is right. If not, please correct it. Michael Glass (talk) 23:44, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
