Kennedy Peak is a 2,703-metre (8,868 ft) peak in the Falam District of the Chin State of Burma (Myanmar) that dominates the Tedim Road. It is one of the world's ultra-prominent peaks, as it rises 4,951 feet (more than 1500 m) above all other peaks nearby.[2] It the second highest mountain in Chin State, next to Mount Victoria.
It was the site of a battle during World War II in which Ram Sarup Singh, a subedar of the British Indian army, led his unit with great bravery in attacking and capturing a strong Japanese-held position, then persisting despite wounds in defending it against counterattacks, until killed. He was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross.[3]
