The Gurkha Regiment are some of the finest fighting men in the British Army. They have been part of British fighting forces since 1816. The competition to become a membe of this elite force is fierce. They march at the fastest speed of any infantry brigade and carry the sharp and deadly khukuri. They hail from Nepal and are an extraordinary group of fighting men who are highly respected by all other sections of the British Army. Fantastic to see this.
Many thanks for your post I personally don't know of any but back where I lived in Devon I would go to a takeaway called the Gurkha ran by a ex Gurkha who was the most lovely unassailable person you could ever want to meet I think he was ex Gurkha as it had pictures of him around the restaurant, he is such a lovely person, obviously a different role for him outside of the military..but my mum used to do the pay for the forces in Exeter and she spoke fondly of them to. Such a respectful people and respected by people.
@@paul8161 We stayed at a hotel in Blackpool, few years back,run by a former Gurkha Sergeant, he employed retired Gurkha's as well, he proudly showed off his medals and the picture of him with our late Queen was centrefold....
My Grandfather served with the Ghurkas at some point in WWII. I'm not sure if that was as an attachment or what. But he used to regale stories of their deeds, bravery, professionalism, and wonderful gentlemen. He was a professional soldier (NCO) and knew a real soldier when he saw one.....
My father (US Army Air Force) was served with British and Ghurka troops. His always had the highest respect for the Gurkas (not implying he didn't respect the British). Diane, using Joe's tablet.
My partner was in the King's Royal Rifles, he had so much respect for The Gurkhas. As did a friend of the family who was in the RAF in Burma during WWII.
We have a family friend who was an officer in the Gurkha rifles and we have the utmost respect for these men who live half a world away from their families for many years and yet are willing to lay down their lives for our country if necessary. 🇳🇵🇬🇧
If Brunei, India, Singapore and the UK (plus Nepal) joined forces, together they could literally rule the world (all have gurkhas serving in their militaries/police/security), as they all have the best warriors on the planet..
@@seansean9675 I have only met three Gurkhas they were all quiet, unassuming gentlemen. They are loyal to the one they pledge their professional oath, the British. Their motto is “Better to die than be a coward”, and they live and die by it. How true this story is I do not know. During WWII a regiment of Gurkhas were told they would be jumping out of the plane at 600 feet to ensure they hit the landing spot, after a lot of muttering the sergeant stood up and asked if they could jump at a lower height so they would have a better chance of surviving the jump, no one had told them they would be wearing parachutes.
The Gurkha regiment have served in the Uk since 1815 and are known for their use of the kukri , a blade that can be used for cutting wood , food and in battle , it was once said that if the kukri are drawn in battle then blood has to be drawn before it can be put away …according to my grandfather who had seen these fearless men during the second world war .
I'm in New Zealand and about 5 years ago there were Ghurkas out on the street corners with our military, collecting for Poppy Day. I approached one with my donation and asked if he was wearing his kukri and he volunteered to show it to me. It's a beautiful tool and I felt very privileged to be able to see it up close. He was a cheery, smiley, gracious, and welcoming young man who looked absolutely amazing in his full dress.
Very smart and precise. The drill sergeant is old school. I like that! Instead of a cautionary word of command, the intonation in his voice tells the men what to expect.
i hope the UK Govt has corrected its inequalities in pay and retirement benefits, I was there during memeorial Day about 10 years ago and met a number of retirees. They had a petition . Very polite no pressure andno verbal complaints just whats written on the petition
Unfortunately the law of unintended consequences is at work here. After (I don't know if because of) Ms Lumley's campign they were given pension rises. But a substantial number then received enough money to be able to live and settle in the UK, which they then did. This led to a considerable drop in the amount of money remitted back to Nepal, which had far reaching and deleterious results. I honestly don't know the correct answer to this conundrum.
IMO, the greatest fighters in the world! My late Father was a Captain Royal Engineers and had members from the Gurkhas on many of his secondments in WW2,and educated all his children on their history,exploits,and his experiences with them! Her late Majesty QE2 s personal bodyguards were made up of Gurkhas.😊One can only thank them for their services. J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia ❤ 🇦🇺 😀 🪃
I guess I must add my Gurkha story. My father was a Captain Royal Artillery and commanded a troop of 25pdrs in the hills somewhere between Imphal and Kohima. He had a company of Gurkha for troop security. Each night, one platoon approx. would go out on patrol. Morning parade, there they would be, and to their left, a neat line of Japanese heads. My father said Gurkhas were the only troops the Japanese really, really, did not want to meet.
I served with the Gurkhas in 1965 during the Confrontation in Borneo. We supported the action when L/Cpl Rambuhardur Limbu won his Victoria Cross....21 Nov 1965...my 19th birthday.
First time I've ever seen this! Wish I could have heard them play and watched them longer. Guess I've been lucky to have come across them at all... what a privilege
Let’s get a few things right. The Kings Royal Rifle Corps (KRRC) fought the Gurkha’s on the plaines of Nepal. After the battle the Gurkha asked to join the British Army as part of the infantry as long as they wore the same uniform as the KRRC and march at the same speed as the KRRC as well. I have served with the Gurkha’s in Hong Kong and as a Divisional Secretary for SSAFA in Folkestone for many a year. They are very polite, always well turned out and as stated in other comments very professional in all that they do. I have the pleasure to know many as close friends. They march at the same speed as the Light Division which is the Rifles. Ask any serving or retired Gurkha and they will say that the Rifles or before that the Royal Green Jackets and they will say that we are brothers in arms and proud to fight side by side. They wear the same uniform as the KRRC then RGJ and now Rifles. The Gurkha march at the same pace as the Light Division so not the fastest of any other regiment but joint fastest!!
These fine young gentlemen from Nepal have proven themselves over and over again that they truly are exceptional warriors and now I'm seeing how exceptional they are on the parade ground , it would be nice if the rest of the British army showed as much commitment as these Gentlemen.
Just awesome. Always in sinc and marching in what seems Double the speed as regular troops. Curious though, what is the meaning of that quick shuffle to the right/left? They are so fluidly in sinc I cannot see that they lose a few feet, or INCHES, out of position.
For these men soldering is not just a job, it's a calling steeped in tradition and honour. I had a chance to work with a Gurkha company during training in Wainwright Alberta. That was in 1976...I'm still impressed.
My Father who inspected them on occasions in WWII said there was a time when British troops would use German boots in the desert. This faded when it was realised that Gurkha night patrols frequently identified sentries by feeling their boots in the dark. Now that is field craft!
I heard they would feel how the laces were tied. Germans would cross an equal length lace while Brits loop over through each eye using one longer length lace.
Gurkha Regiment... !!!! My father and grandfather fought side by side with the Gurkha. Dad told me that these men where pound for pound the best military men that ever lived.
I have worked with the Gurkha in both England and Belize, they are very professional, excellent in their roll, we should be honored that they fight for our country.
My father served alongside the Gurkhas during the last war. He always considered it a privilege to have had the opportunity to fight with them and said it was reassuring to know they had his back. In many conflicts, from the past, the sound of the Scottish and Irish regiment’s screaming their Gaelic war cries put fear into the enemy, so did the knowledge that they faced the Gurkhas. My father used to say, they scare me, god knows what they do to the enemy.
My father was RE in the Malay rebelion, His unit was tasked to rebuild bridges blown up by rebels, they were protected by a Ghurkha unit, Perfectly happy at work in the daylight, But equally slept well a night, If you felt fingers on your bootlaces, it was a pal taking care of you at night,
During the second world war the ONLY people the Japanese where afraid of was the gurkhas .They would (and still )fight to the last man ....respect !!!!
What's so stunning ? We all did parade drills to the sounds of the orchestra. We were even better synchronised than these guys are and that was about 35 years ago.
My mother and her family where in an Japanese prison kamp in ww2 in Indonesia. My grandfather and grandmother worked in the dutch navy and they almost died there. After the caputilation of Japan the camps had to be closed because the Indonesians wanted to kill all the Dutch. So the Japanese had to keep the Dutch safe till the Britisch would come. My mother was thirteen , so one day the Gurkas came (not the Englisch ..... ) And for the children the gurkas looked strange not Indonesian and not Japanese . And they took over the camp, but my mother till she died whas allways thankfull and greatfull to the Gurkas. Because they where great fighters and respectfull tho the Dutch and kept them safe. Thanks,
The size of their regiment should be tripled because I've watched the training and far too many good passionate people were being let down and sent away. I personally would have loved to see the training part, I've have my own personal win jar squad 😂
Even though the Gurkhas have served the British Army superbly for many years it's only in the last few years we have treated them with respect in regards to pension rights etc and we should be ashamed of the way previous government s have behaved
The Gurkhar Rifles are second line. Every Soldier of the Guards, I met, admid. "If the Guards are of. The Gurkhar will do the job. not an 1/8 inch less than the Guards." The Gurkhas will do their job everywhere. Guards Duty or front line. Real soldiers
Okay I was loving the looks of these troops with their in sinc steps. I rewatched the video and saw something I hadn't seen in it before. That move where they all, ever so slowly, in sinc again move their hands forward to clamp the buts of their rifles. Holy crapp my friends that move gives me shivers to watch! It's as if they are ALL daring someone to make a move, any move, that needs to have their a$$'s to be handed back to them in teeny tiny pieces! Brrrr!! They have my top vote if someone messed with the royal and needed to disappear.
A story I heard from an English officer while in training in Egypt during the desert campaign during WW II. Officer cadets were in bivouac in the desert at night with sentries posted. Gurka's sneaked in and left a note on one officer's chest saying that his neck had been slit. In the morning when the cadets awoke they found that all their boot laces had been cut. Would you sleep well after this? Apparently a psych method used on German troops.
my passing out parade was with these boys for the band nellie the elephant in quick time (corpal was infantry ) with jump step into banging so many years ago now but these cats dont even smile at wrong or your needing a new a r sehole
Curse at me if I say something wrong , but why is the highranking officer a tall ( sorry) white guy instead of an original Gurkha officer who climbed up the ranks and has his own leadership. I know I step on sooo many toes but this is just a tipical example of how the original British Empire was... leaders were the Brits and the soldiers were the local people. I am sorry if I hurt someones feelings but it just occurred to me.

What a privilege and an honour to have the Ghurkas in our military. Sheer perfection. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧♥️
Can't echo that enough!

A privilege to have these soldiers in our armed forces amazing soldiers who have earned their reputation ❤
We are very lucky to have them❤.
They are an absolute Godsend to Britain, a joy to watch them
They are so “ sharp “ and disaplined! A pleasure to watch 😊
So are their Blades
My partner was in the King's Royal Rifles, he had so much respect for The Gurkhas. As did a friend of the family who was in the RAF in Burma during WWII.
Highest respect to the Gurkha Regiment. An ace group of men and someone you’d really appreciate having around in a squabble.
I was with Johnny ghurka in Malaysia in the emergency? What a time i had , God bless them all,
Rightly called "the bravest of the brave".
My father also spoke with great admiration of these men as well as awe of their fighting ability
We have a family friend who was an officer in the Gurkha rifles and we have the utmost respect for these men who live half a world away from their families for many years and yet are willing to lay down their lives for our country if necessary. 🇳🇵🇬🇧
They have done so in many wars
They do it just for the money, they are nothing but mercinaries
God Bless the Gurkhas and God Save the King on this United States of Americas Independence Day. Salute from The Great State of Texas Gentlemen!
I am totally in awe of these soldiers
Love Ghurkas always feel emotional when I see them. This is an amazing example of once fierce enemies being much loved and respected friends.
If Brunei, India, Singapore and the UK (plus Nepal) joined forces, together they could literally rule the world (all have gurkhas serving in their militaries/police/security), as they all have the best warriors on the planet..
The Gurkhas are truly very nice men, I really can not understand why our enemies don't like them.
lovely men when they are your friends. extremely deadly when they are your enemy.

Partied with the gurkha once years ago in Scotland. Great guy's and very polite 🙂

That’s to align themselves to the right marker. The order is “Company, right dress!” (Company, Platoon, which ever group is on parade)

British marching is certainly the best.
They march double time I think, but certainly not the usual march speed.
Like how they put the men with the most medals in the front

Only 7 paces on the Get on Parade..when did that change
Looks like Wellington Barracks London. Drill is on point. 👌🏼
you are right. They are just getting ready to march up Bird Cage Walk and into Buckingham Palace for the daily changing of the guard.
Extremely proud to have these warriors in the British army
Two forces I would never want to face on any battlefield: any unit of the US Marines and any unit of the Gurkhas.
Curse at me if I say something wrong , but why is the highranking officer a tall ( sorry) white guy instead of an original Gurkha officer who climbed up the ranks and has his own leadership. I know I step on sooo many toes but this is just a tipical example of how the original British Empire was... leaders were the Brits and the soldiers were the local people. I am sorry if I hurt someones feelings but it just occurred to me.
All true, though I think the Rifles march as fast
I cannot imagine that the inspecting officer would find anything wrong with any of those on parade in a billion years.
The British foreign legion.
Well damn. After watching the entire video, you can color me disappointed. They do have really nice knives. I bet their fighting knives arent shiny.
I can assure you, the kukri each soldier has on his belt is the one he is issued with when he joins. I still have mine (30 years on) and it shiny! 🙂
