Ghurka Soldier

Gurkha regiments developed a long record of service after recruitment from Nepal began in the early nineteenth century. In the world wars they served within the British Indian Army in theaters stretching from Europe to Southeast Asia. After 1947 Gurkha units continued within both British and Indian military structures. Their reputation for endurance and courage accompanied ordinary military demands for training, supply, and supporting weapons; they were not a separate technological category of infantry. The division of Gurkha regiments after independence was a major institutional change rather than the disappearance of the tradition. Regimental identities and recruiting relationships continued, but now within different national command and political structures.
