From private Gurkha soldier to lieutenant Colonel!

[@BBob1]

How sad there is so many negative comments about this. I served 22 years in the British Army and know how much we admire and respect Gurkha's. they are not pet dogs as some fools say, probably because they were not good enough to join. They are my brothers in arms.

[@iamshivrai]

Very kind of you to mention that Stan. I did 28 years with the same Regiment as Yam. retired in 98. There are always haters and losers but once a squaddie always a squaddie and like you say, brothers in arms

[@michaeldenomie7561]

Well said. S/Sgt USMC '70-'78

[@raybenstead2548]

I too served but in the RAF. The Gurkha's are among the most respected soldiers ever to serve so haters i very much doubt if any of you have ever served in the armed forces because if you had then you know how much respect these men have.

I’ve nothing but admiration

[@paulchandler9646]

@@iamshivrai My uncle told me of the Gurkha's in North Africa returning with italian and german heads in sacks with big smiles on their faces after a successful night patrol.You guy's are in a class all by your self.

[@dogpound7162]

We in the Uk hold these brave men in very high regard, well done lieutenant Colonel Yam Bahadur Rana.

[@Mr_Sandesh_Dhital]

but how they are treated after servie retirement .A gurkha never cries or fears in war zone but ehen after retirement he is intensinally delayed for pension being asian .He never thuoght it while guarding the HM but after retirement he goes through svere pain i have seen tear in gurkhas eye because of this .The world fears of gurkhas but gurkha fears only one thing how he will be treated in uk after retirement by whites for being asian .

[@iamshivrai]

I know Yam and Alice well. Excellent achievement for a LE officer in the Brigade - and the first one to have crossed the threshold. Well done to Yam and Alice. You have not only proven that we are just as good but also paved the way for many other Gurkha LE officers to strive for what you have achieved if not higher. Tol Bahadur Khamcha from our same Regiment has recently proven that. Kudos to both of you and your family for your fantastic achievements.

God bless you and massive respect. We in the u.k will always stand with Gurkha very good soldiers

[@SeanHendy]

Colonel, many congratulations on your successful career. I was born into a military family, my father having joined at the age of 16. He had no academic qualifications and the only education he got was from the Army. Exactly the same limitations exist for British Army soldiers, the highest rank that can be achieved is Lt Col. He served for 39 years, achieving promotion through every single rank, becoming Lt Col as his final rank. I then went on to join as a commissioned officer, and as all those attending the academy, met the Gurkha demonstration company at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as well as on ops in Kosovo in '99. Hard working, loyal and with a great sense of humour, the Gurkhas are a credit to the British Army, continuing the tradition and honour of the many generations that have gone before, in this unique brotherhood between Nepal and the United Kingdom.

[@johnmoore8016]

Great respect for what this man did against all odds. He is an outstanding example of what a person can do if they set their minds to it. I also hear that these Gurkhan are might fighter in battle.

[@cypher3874]

What a great achievement for a great guy and well deserved. The British public love the Gurkhas and we have upmost respect for them. They are integral to.the British army and deserve the very best. Well done that man

[@eagle790]

From a young age I heard from uncles that served in the British military how brave and unflinching these soldiers were. Very proud of this man to achieve this high rank. Best

[@gregoryhamlet2909]

So please for this man.. I was born in London but my upbringing was in the town of Chatham in Kent.. Which has a Gurkha regiment based there. As a child and young man before moving back to London I had over the years a few incounters with the great young men from this base.. On one occasion had three join us for my sisters 18th birthday party.. They are very respectful and nice People that have served this country with honour and love for many years.. But it's a pity our political party's have not been so over the years and have been treated them as they should be..I salute this man and other Gurkha's on the behalf of all the British nation...

[@ianrobertson5798]

I served for 2 years with the Gurkha in Brunie whilst stationed with the British Army A great bunch of hard working respectfull guys This man deserves every respect for attaining the rank of Lt Col.

[@seangannon193]

great man, great regiment, proud to serve with the gurkhas. the best friends you will ever have

[@wjf0ne]

He should be an inspiration to ALL young soldiers and not just Gurkhas.

[@wjf0ne]

o kap mein kap I would agree with your sentiments about the British officer corp. There again have the FFL still a cap on only French men getting to high rank in their force? I too believe in merit system and not the old boy network.

What a wonderfull story. As how i know it, is the Gurkha always were men of iron, never backing down and ready to stand for what ever may come. Trustworthy men of hounor.

[@rg20322]

The Gurkha's are the best of the best!! Much respect!

[@rg20322]

It's too bad that the Brit's aren't more forthright and respectful.

[@vdx8888]

Damn, what an accomplishment. They are some bad boys which translates into a very formidable fighting force. They are simply humble, distinguished and total bad-asses!! They have distinguished themselves in every campaign they have taken part and serve proudly to this day. I commend him on his service and dedication.

[@pag1413]

Wonderful Story of Success for others to follow!& Great for GB & Nepal! Gurkha's are lovely people!So brave ! Thank You for your service!

Full of respect for the Gurkha's, my Grandad served in Burma (As it was) and was full of respect for them. A great friendship between Nepal and Britain. Sounds like an amazing man!

i had the honor of spending 2 weeks with the 2nd Gurkha rifles back in 1985 at the Cardiff searchlight tattoo, we all stayed and cyncoed college during the 2weeks and was told by my CO to stay away from them, but being a hot headed sergeant i ignored my orders and went to speak with a group of them, they happened to be the most polite genuine people i have ever met, during the 2weeks with them i learned alot about the culture of the Gurkha, memories il have for the rest of my lifetime

[@douglapointe6810]

Years ago a Gurkha engineering company were invited to CFB Aldershot, Nova Scotia Canada to help with some upgrades to the base. I was in back then but not around base Aldershot. My Warrant Officer brother was and said they were a great group to work with and very friendly. The young trouble makers in town learned to watch their manners around these fellows.

today I see them all around me on the streets of Kent, you can always tell a Gurkha and his family. most humble and kindest of people with a wry smile and sharp sense of humour.

[@malsm8892]

My father served in Burma and would not have any one say a bad thing against the Gurkhas said best of the best

[@robin_5099]

tk421missing What a hateful comment. Please educate yourself before exploding with unnecessary and unwarranted vitriol. Get back to me when you have something worth saying.

[@robertvalence7899]

My family took an American visitor to Windsor Castle; we'd been there previously when the Guards were on duty - big guys. This time there were no Guards & my little kiddie said "I want to see a real soldier". Whereupon, a gurkha pulled himself up and said "I AM a real soldier". I was terrified - I thought he might cut us up with his kukri". From what I've seen and know, these guys are the tops. If you're an enemy you shouldn't mess with them; if you're a friend they're fantastic.

[@manikkalore1630]

salute to you sir.. Although I think Gorkha can also make good Genrals. lots of love from India.. Jai maa kali..
