Very special men ,honour ingegrity ,loyalty and indominateble spirit, Ayo Ghurkali brother
An outstanding regiment
Como se llama la canción?
Great and fearless soldiers. Britain's proud of them!
Great guys . We first had contact with them in Hong Kong new territories. Our almost daily run from Dodwells Ridge to Gallipoli barracks. They did all the demonstrations at the Jungle Warfare School Kota Tingi And the many joint opps in Sarawak. Anyone here remember?? I always remember asking them what it was like in Borneo? The answer was not what I expected. Too much rain , always wet ! Nothing about the contacts they had with the enemy , just about the weather. Mind you they were right about that we were always wet through.
That was interesting as they marched away two FAT police yakking and laughing together i have no reason to add to that but what smart group of soldiers a credit to there company and thanks for sticking with UK.
stupid....... just being used...... be aware people are stupid
Great and Jai Gurkhas
Very energetic
We are very proud to host the Gurkhas in Brecon this year we celebrate 50 years since they arrived in the town
The Few The Brave The Gurkha.
Everyone I have known is a lovely person!
For two centuries, pound for pound, the finest fighting regiment in the world.
Just been to the dress rehearsal for the 2023 production of the Nutcracker Ballet Suite at Theatr brychienog. What a treat! A wonderful performance, the dancing, the costumes ,the live music,all superb ! Well done to everyone involved. Clearly a huge amount of planning, rehearsals to get to this stage of excellence. Well done Katy, worth all that effort….and lovely to see Jose dancing Flamenco again! All good wishes for the rest of your performances and seasons greetings.
Respect to the Gurkha Warriors
Ladys an Gentleman we see one off the best infanterieunits in the World. Everyone of these Soldiers is trained on the highest level. And they tackle every Task on every Terrain and combatground you can that you can imagine. At least that's what they said, and I'm inclined to take their word for it. I had the chance to train with them twice on a maneuver during my active military time years ago and although we as German Panzerggrenadiere (German armored Infanterie) are also a good unit (even back then), i have great respect for the Gurkhas' skills, they are really good disciplined fighters.
Namaste
Ahhh...the magnificent Gurka's. I had the privilege of service with them (Australian Army). They were the finest soldiers I knew. The girls in this video were just beautiful and honoured their country.

Great characters, always generous in sharing their run ration on exercise! They had a greats ns of humour too. I remember the display company at RMAS being given a telling-off by their company commander. He pulled his beret off and stamped on it and then march off. The company stood very still until he had gone and then grabbed their berets and threw them on the ground and jumped on them all laughing. I had no idea what they had done wrong but it was hysterical watching them! Had the pleasure of serving with them on a number of occasions, they were always well turned out on and off parade and so polite and hard working. How luck we are to have them.

Dangerous soldiers, google Sgt Dipprasad Pun,
As the Task Force sailed in 1982, the news programme carried a very long shot of Ghurkhas preparing to mount the ship's gangplank. Why such a long shot of them I wondered - of course it was for 'consumption' in Buenos Aires!
Jay Mahakali ayo Gorkhali❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Many moons ago, I stayed at the Union Jack Club London. Those days accommodation was in Dormitory Fassion. And the guy in the next bed was a Gurkah. That meeting over 35 years ago was the start of a friendship that continues to this day. Gurung and I are " Brothers" by virtue of our being British Soldiers. When Gurang attended for trials to enter the British Army....252 others were with him for just 25 vacancies. I am privileged to be able to say "a friend of mine is a Gurkah Soldier " Words are just inadequate when describing a Gurkah Soldier....I believe them to be 'Unique Humans" they possess near super human qualities...Loyalty., Dedication and Service...this includes thier lifelong love and duty for family , and the nation they serve and swear to defend, Britain. Nepal is a hard place and it's so tough to get on and so perhaps becomes an ideal start, but you won't hear a word of complaint, they are truly exceptional human beings. I am proud to make known I contribute towards thier well being and towards periods of illness and possibly disablement. For guys that are generally under 5'8" they are 'Loyalty on two legs' James H Kerby Bargoed Caerphilly,.
Happy 🐣 Easter wishes
Wonderful to see this so proud and decent in the UK,
I see Sikh & Gorkha together. Bravest of the Braves.
I have so much respect for these brave men….massive respect!!❤
Amazing solidiers !!!!
love for the gurkhas from Tibet.
Ghurkhas 👏👏👏
Totally out of place in England. We dont need mercenaries.
They ARE NOT mercenaries as they are fully integrated within the British Army . Mercenaries only swear allegiance to the highest bidder . Gurkha from Nepal swear allegiance to the Crown . There seems to be some confusion on your part in what a mercenary is and what a member of the British Army is ??
@@johnreed8336 No confusion what so ever. They ARE mercenaries. Google what a mercenary is. They fit all the criteria. So they swear loyalty to our parasite Monarchy? So what! Gurkhas serve as Mercenaries in at least 6 armies around the world. They come from a poverty striken third world sh*thole, and all they have to offer is them selves as cannon fodder in other nations wars. Yes they guns for hire to the highest bidder. Brit army is quite choosey. Only 10% applications get except.
Some of these guys are based in Stafford, they are are a wonderful addition to the UK forces and community.. I for one are very proud of their loyalty and commitment.. to the
