THE GURKHAS | |
After the Treaty of Friendship which ended the Nepalese Wars of 1814-16, it was agreed that Gurkha hillmen from Nepal should be voluntarily enlisted to serve in the Armies of the honourable East India Company. On the abolition of that Company and transfer of government to the Crown in 1858, the Gurkha Regiments were absorbed into the (British) Indian Army. With the Indian Independence of 1947, four Regiments of Gurkha Rifles transferred to the British Army with the remainder continuing in the new Indian Army. In 1948 the following four Regiments were constituted as the Brigade of Gurkhas and became part of the British Army: 2nd,6th,7th and 10th Gurkha Rifles. As part of the Options for change package instituted in the 1990's all four Gurkha Regiments merged into a new Regiment The Royal Gurkha Rifles, and adopted the new badge.
