Gurkhas have served in every battle the British fought in last 200 years, from the Syrian deserts to the freezing Falklands, and from the high Himalayas to the forests of Borneo. 32,000 Gurkhas died in WWII alone, earning 2,734 bravery awards. The Gurkha Regiment has received 26 Victoria Crosses so far, the highest for any British regiment. Hitler once said, “If I had the Gurkha, I could win the whole world.”
