In 1769, the Army of Prithwi Narayan Shah from the kingdom of Gorkha (in West Central Nepal) overran the valley of Nepal and gradually gained control over the whole country. Their dominions increased considerably over the following decades until they covered large areas of Garhwal and Kumaon and came up against the expanding empire of the Honorable East India Company. This clashj lead eventually to the Nepal War of 1814-1815, and it is from this date that the enlistment of Gurkhas in British Service began. 93pp. Duplicated production with plastoic binding.
