Risadar Santa Singh, Dafadar Bisham Singh And Sowar Buda Singh Charging To Rescue Captain Willoughby, Who Was Surrounded By Arab Horsemen. In the Persian Gulf operations the British Force hoped to have the Arabs as allies against the Turks, whose rule had never been congenial to the Arabs. The appearance of the red and white flags of the Arabs with the Turkish troops, however, caused surprise and anxiety. In the thick of an engagement near Shaiba, on March 3rd 1915, a body of Arab horsemen surrounded Captain Wiloughby. With conspicuous bravery Risaldar Santa Singh, Dafadar Bisham Singh and Sowar Buda Singh, of the 33rd Queen Victorias Own Light Cavalry, charged the enemy in an attempt to rescue the officer. |

The Jemadar and his men were fired on fro both front and flank, but he directed them with much skill under trying circumstances. For his conspicuous conduct, Jemadar Ram Karan was awarded the Indian Order of Merit. |
