This book contains a description of all units in British Service which have enlisted Gurkhas at some period. Revised, written and researched by Sir John Chapple, and his team, who s knowledge of the Gurkhas and their service in the British Army is second to none. It provides the authoritative account of the evolution of raising the Regiments from their inception, dating from 1815 to the present day (although local hillmen had been enlisted sometime before that date), the recruitment of the different castes and their districts, and chronological lists of who and what served where. This is the only publication to contain this level of detail and accuracy regarding the Regiment.
