In the 185
years they have served in the British Army, the Gurkhas have won 26
Victoria Crosses, along with other British military honors, more than
any other single group in the army. More than 200,000 Gurkhas fought in
two World Wars, with 14,000 killed in engagements in France, Middle
East, Malaya, Boreno, Cyprus, and the Falklands. The Gurkhas have
loyally fought in nearly all of the World's major wars and have earned
Britain's highest service awards. The Gurkhas have earned their fame and
have made their mythical and legendary figure toward the world. |
