Badlu Singh VC (13 January 1876 – 23 September 1918) was an Indian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.


He was born in village Dhakla, district Rohtak (now Jhajjar), Haryana, India. His father was Lal Singh.
[1]


He was a Risaldar in 14th Murray's Jat Lancers, British Indian Army, attached to 29th Lancers (Deccan Horse), during the First World War when he performed the deed on 23 September 1918 at Khes Samariveh, Jordan River, Palestine for which he was posthumously awarded the VC.

His Majesty the KING has been graciously pleased to approve of the award of the Victoria Cross to the undermentioned Officer: —


Ressaidar [sic] Badlu Singh, late 14th Lancers, attached 29th Lancers, Indian Army.


For most conspicuous bravery and self-sacrifice on the morning of the 23rd September, 1918, when his squadron charged a
strong enemy position on the west bank of the River Jordan, between the river and Kh. es [sic] Samariveh Village.


On nearing the position Ressaidar [sic] Badlu Singh realised that the squadron was suffering casualties from a small hill on the left front occupied by machine guns and 200 infantry. Without the slightest hesitation he collected six other ranks and with the greatest dash and an entire disregard of danger charged and captured the position, thereby saving very heavy casualties to the squadron. He was mortally wounded on the very top of the hill when capturing one of the machine guns single-handed, but all the machine guns and infantry had surrendered to him before he died.


His valour and initiative were of the highest order.


— London Gazette, 27 November 1918.[2]


He is commemorated on the Heliopolis (Port Tewfik) Memorial in the Heliopolis War Cemetery, Cairo, Egypt.[1]
