摘要

The Gurkha regiments in the British Army are among the world's finest infantryman. Recruited in the kingdom of Nepal since 1819, they have served Britain with loyalty and incredible bravery. Their battle cry 'Here comes the Gurkhas ' has caused enemy soldiers to flee the battlefield and has given the Gurkha a combat potential far greater than his numbers. The Gurkhas soldier has fought beside his British brothers-in-arms in the Indian Mutiny, in France and Mesopotamia during World War I, and in all theaters during World War II. They have fought as well in Britain's countless small wars including the Northwest Frontier of India, Malaya, Borneo, and in 1982 the Falkland Islands. Since 1911, -- when they became eligible -- thirteen Gurkhas have been awarded the Victoria Cross. This paper tells who the Gurkhas are, and where they came from. It describes their customs, character and their history as soldiers with some reasons why they are among the world's best soldiers.
