Re: Gurkhas: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.
Dont want to ruffle feathers Gurkhas are great soldiers with amazing history but I read about another aspect on Gurkhas tough teething issues they had when command in 1947 was transferred from Brits to Indians. The writer was amongst their first Indian COs who literally had to drag them into action during Poonch siege in 48. I shall look for the link
