Changing the Guard in Windsor (31/5/2022) *RARE - BOMB SCARE*

Part 1

[@simonwhitlock9189]

My late father served with the Gurkhas as medical officer during the second world war and always spoke very highly of these wonderful men.

[@davesherry5384]

Worked with Gurkhas in Hong Kong and in the NZ army on many occasions in the 70s and 80s. Always a great bunch of blokes. I had about 20 of them in my M113 on one exercise in the middle of a snow storm. It was atrocious and Aussies, Singaporeans and Malaysians going down like flies with hypothermia - Kiwis too. I looked in the rear of the wagon and there was a steaming pile of soaking wet, frozen Gurkhas all with grins the size of Cheshire cats beaming back at me! Unstoppable these Gurkhas!

@Earth Extremities 30 years ago I was visiting a beach in Florida and there were three little kids who had gotten caught in a rip current and nobody could get to them and these two Asian gentlemen ran into the water and saved them from drowning. Even the life guards at the beach were too afraid to go where the kids were trapped. The next day there was a report in our local newspaper of how two Gurkhas on vacation in our city ran into the water to save three little kids from drowning. Further in the article the reporter who interviewed one of them asked the Gurkha about his swimming prowess as even the lifeguard was afraid to go in and the Gurkha responded "I never swam before, that was my first time."

[@AV-fo5de]

A friend of mine was a military nurse who had served with the Gurkhas. She was an Officer, being a Sister, and when she left the Army after her tour was over, the Gurkhas presented her with a Kukhri - their famous knife. She treasured it more than anything. It is said you must never unsheath a Kukhri unless it is to taste blood. I was told that if someone wants to show anyone a Kukhri, they will unsheath it, and take a slice at their own hand or finger , then clean the blade and sheath it again.

[@johncartwright4041]

I've served with these men in the past at Aldershot. The Gurkhas are very professional soldiers of the highest calibre. They march at this very brisk pace, as they are Light Infantry . They served well in the Falklands war in 1982 and scared the Argentinians to death . On the only occasion I was armed with 'live rounds' on mainland UK, I was with these men .

As soon as that was decided the Police skipper allowed the lead Police officer to informed the Drum Major it was safe to lift off again.

Like ANY commonwealth soldier, they should automatically qualify for British citizenship ship after 5 years service along with their family. No questions asked. It shouldn’t cost them thousands to apply for it, their family’s shouldn’t struggle to get accepted. They have put our country’s needs first and foremost before their own. They left their own country to protect ours. That in my eye is more than enough to qualify. It’s disgusting the way commonwealth soldiers are treated and forced to jump though hoops to get the citizenship they have already earned 10x over. Pensions should also be identical to any other military personnel regardless of the country they are living in.

@@cowboy10uk You seem to be getting your knickers in a twist, virtue-signalling about Commonwealth and Nepali soldiers. 1. They all receive the same salary, benefits and pension as British soldiers. 2. They can all apply for U.K citizenship after four years of military service. 3. They use the same application process as everybody else, exceot that military service qualifies them automatically, so they do not have "to jump through hoops".

@Iain Lindsay, the Royal Gurkhas only have affiliation with one Scottish Regiment. Back in 1949 the Cameroonians (Scottish Rifles) started a still existing affiliation with the Royal Gurkhas. To honor this, the Gurkhas were invited to wear the Gordon Tartan. And in 2022, we observe that these wonderful brave soldiers wear the Tartan.
