The Gurkhas : 200 years of service to the Crown
Lawrence, J. C.2015
Book
Probably the best known, and to their adversaries the most feared, body of fighting men in the British Army, the Brigade of Gurkhas was formed 200 years ago in June 1815 and for all those years their signature weapon has remained the Kukri. In that time, these young men, from the Nepalese hills, have fought in all the major wars where the British Army has been deployed. Winning an extraordinary number of medals for bravery, the Regiment has also won an extraordinary romantic place in the hearts of British people. This book presents a complete visual history of the regiment, its men and the mystic that surrounds them.
