List of General Events on December-1932

10- December-1932 The Indian Military Academy (IMA) was formally inaugurated by Field Marshal Sir Philip W Chetwode, Bt, GOB, KCMG, GCSI, DSO and was christened as "The Pioneers". The crowning event was delivered in the hall, now named after him, and in the address to the trainees, he enunciated three principles: 'the safety, honour, and welfare of your country comes first, always and everytime', which were to guide the future officers of the Indian Army. A passage from this address has come to acquire immortality and has been adopted as the credo of the Academy.
