![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The idea for writing this book as part of the celebration of two hundred years’ unbroken service to the British crown came from Brigadier Ian Rigden OBE, former Colonel Brigade of Gurkhas, and I am very grateful to him for supporting me throughout the project. I therefore feel very privileged to have been chosen as the first serving Gurkha soldier to tell his life story in his own words. My story is just that of an ordinary hill boy from Nepal whose ambition was to be a Gurkha from as far back as I can remember. Although I have been mentioned in despatches, I have won no major gallantry awards, nor am I one of those heroes who fought, kukri in hand, after all their ammunition ran out. Probably, it could have been written by almost any of my comrades, except that some have had more distinguished careers than me. ![]() This is one man’s story, the story of a Gurkha soldier serving in the British Army.
