Answer:
"Quartered in snow, silent to remain, when the bugle calls, they shall rise and march again."
The above words are engraved on the stone memorial at the Indian Army base camp in Siachen.
Siachen Glacier, one of the world's largest glaciers at a length of 71 km, is situated in the north of the disputed region of Kashmir.
Siachen, which ironically means "the place of wild roses", is the highest battlefield in the world. The Indian and Pakistani forces have fought against each other many times in the Karakoram Range since 1984.
On April 13, 1984, 4 Kumaon Regiment launched Operation Meghdoot and took control of Siachen Glacier.
The inhospitable climate and avalanche prone area has claimed more lives than any gunfire. In view of harsh weather, the army can deploy one soldier in Siachen for a period of three months only.
