BANGLADESH, March 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On that fatal day of 26th March 1971, when Faujdarhat Cadet College (FCC) was just a fledgling and nascent school and only 13 years old with some 374 alumni having gone out into what its founding Principal William Maurice Brown called the “cold, hard world”, our War of Independence was fait accompli. Fifty of FCC’s alumni chose to respond to the clarion call of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and took to becoming valiant soldiers of the War of Independence.

Eight out of these fifty embraced martyrdom, their memories etched in indelible ink in our history as war heroes who had sacrificed their lives for the sake of the motherland. Eleven of these courageous fifty alumni received gallantry awards for their heroic deeds, two of them posthumously. All of them lived up to the college motto “Deeds, not words.” These martyrs and heroes of the War of Independence in 1971 committed and contributed the last full measure of their devotion to the call of duty for the motherland under attack.
