Having been brought up in Kent, the gurkhas were part of our lives.....my family have supported the Gurkha welfare trust for years, now its just me, and im so proud they are still very much part of our countries security.....ayo gorkhali!!!!

Absolutely, don’t know if you’ve been up to Catterick but there’s loads of de-mobbed Gurkhas up there still, always impeccably dressed (regimental ties etc), always impeccably polite, and nobody gives them any trouble whatsoever because of their (well deserved) reputation They’ve stopped barroom punch-ups between other units before by just standing up in the middle of a drunken ruckus going on (think Drederick Tatum’s prison scene in the Simpsons if you’ve seen that 😂😂) I’m glad they’re recognised. And Ayo Gorkhali to you too ❤

It would be nice to see these march in London, along with the veterans in full uniform at the September protest. The police would back off. Love the Ghurkhas'

[@Scaleyback317]

Top notch soldiers. Lived for a couple of years as a youngster in Kluang garrison surround by Gurkha soldiers and families and went to school with some of their kids. Didn't realize then I would have the opportunity to serve alongside them later in life. Good soldiers, good human beings and all round great blokes.

[@daviddrake3504]

Oh so smart. What a turn out! Ayo Gurkha!

[@yangshohang8372]

Thank you very much 🫡

[@neilkipling9123]

Namaste to all my Gurkha friends and veterans, still fighting for pension parity. 🙏

[@normansilver905]

The UK Ghurka units are the finest fighting units in the world. Dedicated, fierce and tough.

[@yangshohang8372]

Thank you for the great comment 🫡

Well disciplined and very pleasing to my eyes

[@nunosantos485]

Celebrating a town’s freedom and native liberties is somehow really badass.

[@big-papa-jimmysavillekiddy2181]

They also serve in the Indian army in large numbers.

[@terrysidhu1078]

You can’t beat marching at light division pace , leaves the rest of the army behind . Swift and Bold

[@johnsiddle-ri6cz]

good lads, and pensions must be as per the army full stop.

[@davidcorbett62]

I remember the Gurkhas when I was with the Jnr Para Coy in Aldershot. We met them quite often when out for runs etc

Lovely to see real soldiers!

[@janewhite2331]

What on earth is that gormless squaddy supposed to be doing who is slouching alongside these amazing soldiers? What an example of the difference between Ghurkas and homegrown. Shameful.

[@nab1uk]

These guys can march 180 steps per minute, Royal green jackets march 160 steps per min ( slow durch)

[@enriquelago121]

¿Los Gurkas marchan a un paso diferente (más rápido) que las otras fuerzas británicas?

[@fasteddie406]

Is Woodbridge now a military base?? I know the old RAF base is used as married quarters has the airfield reopened?

[@davebooth5655]

If you face them in battle they will hurt you, ps sort the pensions out!

[@stevewoodward7850]

Would not like to face these boys in battle...

[@rorynator7567]

I could clobber the lot of them

Once a Gurkha draws their Kukri he must draw blood. The bravest of the Brave.

[@stevewoodward7850]

Is that still true....Im not sure anymore tbh.@@neilkipling9123

[@geoffgraham2791]

Gurkhas, bravest of the brave. 3:16

[@peterwhitaker4038]

in the Falklands war, the Argentinians were terrified of having to meet the Gurkha regiment (who were there), they knew about the weapon they call .. . 'KUKRI' and it's legend that if it is drawn it has to be used. the Argies surrendered before the Gurkhas were to findthem in the hills...sensible lads.

[@johnyates4256]

The Argie conscripts were also told that the Gurkhas would eat them lol

[@georgehead6780]

I served with African & Malay soldiers…also pretty good…some Brit senior nco’s attached not up to the same standard!

[@georgehead6780]

Am afraid the para wasn’t so military…

[@racheltaylor6578]

Well turned out and well drilled.

[@alphalunamare]

No way am I fighting that lot!

[@alphalunamare]
