This article is looking good, but I have a few comments/queries:

• suggest using {{postnominals}}
  • PVC cannot be mentioned using this template, so to maintain consistency, I would not suggest this.
• should be 1st Battalion as it is the title of a unit (and follow with 1 SIKH in parentheses)
  • Done.
• is the citation for his MM available, it would be a good addition?
  • I am sorry that the citation is not available.
• there is a missing bit, how he remained in the Indian Army after WWII
  • There isn't much gap between WWII and War of 1947.
• There is no context for the capture of Tithwal. Where is it, in terms of the regions of India? Jammu and Kashmir? and why was it being fought over? I think a few lines on the background to the fighting is needed.
• When mentioning the fierce battle, just use 1 SIKH, ie "commanding a 1 SIKH forward post"
  • Done.
• suggest "attacks multiple times", as you are going to tell us later that it was eight altogether
  • Done.
• suggest "On 21 June 1950, Singh's award of the Param Vir Chakra was gazetted. The citation read:"
  • Done.
• any other awards? He seems to have had a row and a half of ribbons
  • Those were service awards, which are not notable enough. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 12:35, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
• Was he the first? Perhaps the first living and first Sikh recipient?
• there is no mention of the public auctioning of his PVC, this should definitely be included in the article
• The Tribune article has a bit more information, like he went to primary school, and apparently there is a memorial to him at the District Administrative Complex at Sangrur?
• There is more information about Singh's involvement in a flag raising at independence in The Hindu article, as well as complaints that the government did not grant the family benefits due to them, this information should be included also
• the infobox should probably have MM as well as PVC (at the top)
• the image license seems ok
• Once these comments have been addressed, the lead should be expanded to include a full summary of the main points of the article

That's me done. Placing on hold for seven days. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:54, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

@Peacemaker67: Hi, thanks for the comments. I'm packed with outreach activities, I'll get back to these by the end of this week. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 14:43, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

G'day Krishna. Any progress on this as yet? Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:24, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

@Peacemaker67: Hi PM, I suggest you to decline the submission for now. I may not find in the coming two weeks, as I am actively involved in various outreach activities. I'll nominate this article after I resolve the issues. Sorry for the trouble. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 13:23, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Sure, Krishna. I'd be happy to take a look when you put it up again. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:03, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
