Capt. (Dr.) Prithvi Raj Bali, was a soldier who served in the 17 Field Ambulance Indian Medical Service regiment of the British Indian Army.
He belonged to the Muhiyal community and was one of very rare cases of a non-combatant being conferred a gallantry award[1], the Military Cross for bravery displayed in the battle of Sidi Birani in the Middle East theatre of operations in WW II[2].
