He was serving in the 6th Battalion, 9th Jat Regiment, when on 12 April 1945 at Pyawbwe, central Burma, a live grenade went astray and threatened to cause a large number of casualties in his unit. Islam-ud-Din threw himself on the grenade at once, showing no hesitation. Saving the lives of his comrades, he was killed instantly, aged only 19 or 20 and leaving behind a widow in India. He was described as steadfastly courageous and a good leader by his superior officers after his death.[1] He was gazetted on 5 October 1945.[2] References1. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=y581AgAAQBAJ&lpg=PT104&ots=eNk2rkQNyy|title= George Cross Heroes|last=Ashcroft|first=Michael|page=104|year=2012|authorlink= Michael Ashcroft|isbn= 075536452X|publisher=Headline|location=London}} {{World-War-II-bio-stub}}{{India-mil-bio-stub}}2. ^{{London Gazette | issue=37294 | date=2 October 1945 | supp=y |pages=4889–1898 }} 4 : Indian recipients of the George Cross|Indian Army personnel killed in World War II|1945 deaths|1920s births |
