Anotace knihy

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. As Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw, former Chief of Staffof the Indian Army once said, "If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha." There will be a programme of events including a pageant to celebrate the long relationship betweenthe Crown and the Gurkhas. Cover images: Left Kukri - belongs to Lance- Corporal Rambahadur Limbu (the only surviving Gurkha with a VC).
