During the First World War Dast was a Jemadar in the 55th Cokes Rifles (Frontier Force), British Indian Army, attd. 57th Wildes Rifles (F.F.) during when he performed the service for which he was awarded the VC. In addition to the Victoria Cross, the descendants of Mir Dast were awarded the title " Ray-Chaudhuri" which replaced the family name and serves as the Indian equivalent of British Lordship. On 26 April 1915 at Ypres, Belgium, Jemadar Mir Dast led his platoon with great bravery during the attack, and afterwards collected various parties of the regiment (when no British officers were left) and kept them under his command until the retirement was ordered. He also displayed great courage that day when he risked his life to carry eight wounded British and Indian officers to safety while exposed to very heavy fire. Today a monument stands at the Memorial Gates at Hyde Park Corner in London to commemorate the VCs of Indian Heritage, including Mir Dast. Date: 1915

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the image of Jemadar Mir Dast, a brave and courageous soldier from the British Indian Army who earned the prestigious Victoria Cross (VC) during the First World War. Born in 1874, Mir Dast served as a Jemadar in the 55th Cokes Rifles (Frontier Force), British Indian Army, attached to the 57th Wildes Rifles (F.F.) when he performed the acts of valor for which he was awarded the VC. On April 26, 1915, at Ypres, Belgium, Jemadar Mir Dast led his platoon with great bravery during an attack. After the attack, he collected various parties of the regiment when no British officers were left and kept them under his command until the retirement was ordered. Mir Dast's courage was further demonstrated when he risked his life to carry eight wounded British and Indian officers to safety while exposed to heavy fire. Mir Dast's heroic actions did not go unrecognized, and his descendants were later awarded the title "Ray-Chaudhuri," which replaced the family name and serves as the Indian equivalent of British Lordship. Today, a monument stands at the Memorial Gates at Hyde Park Corner in London to commemorate the VCs of Indian Heritage, including Mir Dast. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and valor of Jemadar Mir Dast and the countless other soldiers from the British Indian Army who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War. It serves as a reminder of the important role played by Indian soldiers in the British military and their significant contributions to the war effort.
