Whilst working in Germany 50 years ago, I met a retired Gurkha who was working in a Chinese restaurant. He told me he had served 25 years in the British army, so I suggested he must have a good pension. He replied that he received half of what a British serviceman received, and, as a Brit, I wished the ground would swallow me up there and then. I am glad this travesty has now been corrected

I agree with you about the travesty. I understand that it initially occurred because in 1947 the British and the Indian Indians agreed to pay their Gers the same benefits which were pegged at the Indian level.

Corrected not because it was the right thing to do as it should never have come to that, but because it hit the mainstream media, it was the shame those in power felt for such a situation. Shameful behaviour as always.

Some years ago whilst trekking through a village in the Himalayan foothills I was approached by a local who explained that grandfather had a letter written in english and that no one in the village could read it, would I read it to them? On reading it I discovered that the old gentleman was an ex British Gurkha and that the letter was informing him that he had been granted a pension. He was ecstatic and I was left feeling extremely privalidged to have given the good news to someone who had served our country.

My father fought with the Gurkhas in WW2, 4th Indian i think. As he grew older he told me of his experiences with them in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy. He said if the hand held out to help was a Gurkhas you were in with a chance. A Gurkha would never leave you. He'd die fighting by your side...

I must have read that book over and over. My father passed away over 20 years ago and was a former UDT man in the US Navy. I am looking forward to the next installment on British history and what else I can learn. Well done, amigo y gracias!

MY GOD, was I certainly so happy to have THIS be your next video, Chris dear chap, cos while I've certainly known extremely full well about the legendary bravery and loyalty of the amazing Gurkhas of Nepal during their 200 years of service with us Brits, I've known absolutely NOTHING, zero, zilch, for all this long time about the very war which began that very adventure and service in the first place, being of course the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814-16, the only time we fought each other. And WOW, I mean WOOOOOOWWWW, and I not only refer that to the facts I've now newly gained, again thanks to you- seriously, THANK YOU for doing the Dad's Army video that you did which allowed me to find you in the first place, I would NEVER have found and come to just LOVE your amazing channel so so much otherwise-, but also what you've revealed about the certainly almost incredible to believe facts about Robert Rollo Gillespie, who I TOTALLY say you have GOT to do a video about, I SO wanna know EVERYTHING about what happened to him in his military years before meeting his death against the Gurkhas, please PLEASE do HIM for sure, YES, sir. And btw, I checked out your video from a year or so ago about the Anglo-Zanzibar War of 1896, the war which lasted literally just under three quarters of an hour, the other night, and once again I was just absolutely wowed by what I learned of it, 500 of the defiant enemy Sultan's men killed during those 38 minutes of war and just one of our naval men wounded but survived, and all because of stubbornness to not want to end the slave trade which was still going on in that region at the time. So that's another of your earlier videos finally seen by me, and the fact that that happened two years before the big event of the Spanish-American in Cuba would kick off...

number of years ago I knew a captain of nursing. Her posting was alongside gurkhas. One night the nursing staff were out on the town and convinced a group of gurkhas to come clubbing with them. A huge fight kicked off in the club. The Gurkhas gathered the nurses in a corner and formed a ring round them facing out. Not one combatant went anywhere near that corner.

Excellent presentation History Chap! Thank you for posting. I thoroughly enjoyed this chapter. I was unaware of the war between the British Empire and the Gurkhas in 1814. As you stated, the Napaloeonic war was going on, which seemingly overshadowed this war in history. I learned of the Gurkhas when I became interested in WWII while growing up in the 70s. I have learned more about them over the years, mostly about their service in the Pacific Campaign against the Japanese. I'm pleased to see their history and their legacy getting the recognition they so richly deserve.

A brilliant episode Chris, telling us of the Anglo-Nepalese conflict, of which I knew nothing at all, so thank you for it. I along with many others in this country, have a great love and deep respect for the Gurkha soldier. Not only for their prowess in war, but their deep loyalty to the British Crown. As I remember there were three battalions of Gurkhas until the loss of Hong Kong back to the Chinese in the 1990's and one battalion had been stationed there, but that battalion was disbanded afterwards. Such a pity, as far as I'm concerned we can have as many of these hardy warriors in the British Army as we can possibly accommodate. Given the demands the government put in our armed forces and the lack of really good recruits these days. The more Gurkhas we have the better!

Before the Anglo-Nepalese War of 1814-16. There was another Anglo-Nepalese War in 1767, in which a force of 2,500 British EIC's troops was defeated by the Nepalese forces of King Prithvi Narayan Shah of Nepal. Out of the original British-Indian Sepoy force of 2,500 men, less than 1000 survived and made it back to their home territory. This was the Battle of Sindhuli Gadhi, which was fought on 6th November 1767, in Sindhuli district of Bagmati province of Nepal. Many people often forget and don't remember this Anglo-Nepalese War of 1767 when discussing about the Anglo-Nepalese conflicts and relationship in 18th century to present. The Anglo-Maratha conflicts of 1600s-1843 in India, are even more interesting. British EIC suffered its most humiliating and decisive defeats at the hands of Maratha Empire in the 18th century and that too, at the pan-India level. From Northern India to Southern India.

Well the reason why 1767 war isn't called much is because it wasn't all out war like 1814-16. The 1767 was the British sending their army to assist Jay Prakash Malla who was king of Kathmandu at the time. Ghorkhali knew about it and ambushed the British army and took away the weapon that British army left

Would you consider doing a series on the Gurkhas? I’m thinking of individual acts by Gurkha’s in British service or units in that same service.

Wonderful. My Grandfather was in the Inniskillen dragoons prior and during WW1 up until their disbandment. He served alongside the Gurkas in India, and I have a Kukri that was presented to him. Family legend has it that the Gurkas amputate the first joint of their little finger, on the loss of a parent, and that the army was unsuccessful in banning the practice. Maybe you can enlightened me.? Happy St George's day and thanks for posting.

Technically gurkha were offerd 6 time more wealth and they still stayed with british. Sikh maharani evej took refuge in nepal. As no indian kingdome had that will power to protect her. That being said even maratha leader nana shaib who rebeld against british and killed so many like he also fleed to nepal. Nepal was friends of british and those who rebeld with british took refuge in nepal . If anyone talked about rebelion in heart of nepali they were dealt with. Reason why some poluce stattion guardpost were even damaged and bombed by rebels. See nepal fuaght the british east india by it self. Nit jsyt that but many kindgome suported the british and no one came for nepal. So nepal did what it can to protect it self. It paid a price that british author have written most costliest campaign ever taken by by british in south asia. Finally even british giverner wrote to king of england without gurkha we lost india. You can say sikh i respect that. But it was gurkha who captured mughal leader to be after british would have been moved out of india it would have been mughal empire. Gurkha captured that mughal leader. Yes maratha and many rebeld and many of them fleed to nepal as british were everywhere.

Around the 2000s, i read about the efforts of actress Joanna Lumley to force the British government to allow retired Gurkhas to live in Britain, to receive equal pension as British soldiers, instead of retiring to Nepal on half-pay or reduced pension. I believe her advocacy was successful. And her father was a former officer of the Gurkha regiment.... My story about the Gurkhas: I saw a Gurkha military band playing during the Sultan of Brunei's birthday in 2012. There were also some Gurkha soldiers milling around the ceremony. Unfortunately, as the audience was not permitted to get close, I was unable to chat or take photos with them...

One story to add, Gorkhalis tied rag on sheep horns and set the rags on fire and ran them down the hill to scare the Brits, which caused chaos in the ranks.

Its thickly wooded area with hilly terrain, one can imagine how difficult it would have been for the British to fight in such a terrain considering they were used to fighting line battles in open fields employing volley fire tactics.

At the time of the Anglo-Nepalese war of 1814 it was the East India Company army that did the fighting. This was a private trading company, not the "British Empire", though it did "hire" British regular troops. It was after the Sepoy Mutiny in 1858 that the British Crown took over governance of India from the EIC. The British Indian Army was also formed in 1858 and Gurkhas and other Indian troops entered the service of the British Crown.

At a superficial glance that might be true. However if you take a closer look at things, it absolutely was the British Empire and the British government that had already seized parts of control over Indian administration. First, the India Act of 1784 under William Pitt the Younger created a Regulatory Board, which included both Pitt and Henry Dundas - the British War Minister; This Board was the supreme authority in all relevant aspects of the administration in regards to British India. Each and ANY instruction the EIC Directors wanted to send to India had to go through this 'Board of Control' first - there it could be added upon, altered, edited and certain orders vetoed. Further, in matters of war and diplomacy the Board of Control could and did bypass the Companys leadership via a Secret Committee to send their own instructions to India. More importantly, you should take a look at the Governor Generals of India. Who were they? With the Act of 1784, the Government attained the right to co-appoint the Governor General of British India. In theory, this is called 'Dual Governance', but in practice, it meant making British officials, politicians and generals - men from and loyal to the state and government - as Governor Generals. The last and only formally appointed Governor General coming from the ranks of the EIC (after 1784) was John Shore, his tenure being from 1793-1798. After that you almost exclusively see Men that could be trusted to be loyal to and acting in the expressed interests of the Government and against those of the Company - such as Richarrd Wellesley, Lord Ellenborough, Lord Minto (all of which were members or presidents of the Board of Control). At the time of the Anglo-Nepalese War, it was Francis Rawdon-Hastings that had been the Governor General since 1813 (and would be until 1823). Hastings was a British general and politician, he had served in the American Revolutionary war and was pitted (no pun intended) against William Pitt as a possible candiate as Prime Minister. Despite support by George IV (then Prince of Wales), these aspirations failed, but BECAUSE of the support by the Prince Regent, he was made Governor General of India in 1813. He had no affiliations with the EIC prior to this point. As Governor General, Hastings was the central figure and man in command over all of British India, and with large degrees of autonomy, also able to counteract EIC interests if he so wished. Long story short: The Government actively supported and approved the expansion in India. Any order coming from England HAD to be ratified by the Board of Control, or even had their handwriting in it. And since the Governor Generals after 1798 were NOT from the Companys ranks, it was also the state 'doing the fighting', albeit indirectly in this category.

@@maltesimusfraterdemassimo7215 So you say. But other histories of the EIC maintain it was a Private Company throughout its existence. Government Charters were issued to define the company's trading rights, not to control it. British army commanders and regular army regiments were hired by the EIC, the regiments on 20 year long term contracts. The EIC army was not a British army and it is inaccurate to call it such. Though the EIC often paved the way for colonization, it was not itself directly involved in Empire building. That came later under the British Crown.

@@billballbuster7186 ''Government Charters were issued to define the company's trading rights, not to control it.'' - if that is your opinion, i strongly suggest reading up on the Company Charter Acts from 1773-1833, because they were exactly THAT - parts of a gradual process to bring Indian administration and the EIC itself and its management under state control. You are aware that the state (such as in 1773) also could and did interfere in the EICs election system for its directors? The Royal and Government Charters contain MUCH more contents than merely to define trading rights - they equipped the Company with various privileges: such as territories (St. Helena, Bombay), jurisdiction, local governance, army recruitment, diplomacy etc. British India became a territorial power, BECAUSE the State and Crown had given the Company the means to do so; But the 'Empire building' started much earlier than 1858, Richard Wellesleys tenure is considered as pure imperalism by numerous historians, and Wellesley was a man known to act in the interests of the State and government, such as at the behest of Dundas. EDIT: I did not call the Companys army as 'British army', where did that come from? Since almost 85-90% of the EICs army were local natives (Indians), the European parts of its army were much smaller (in 1858, 40,000 out of 240-340,000 men were of European origin) and came from various parts of Europe, such as Britain, Portugal, Switzerland and Germany.

@@TheHistoryChap Perception is not always based on fact. The EIC Charter was a monopoly on trade and the right to raise an army and wage war. For this Charter the EIC paid the British Government a lot of money. The Governors were appointed to see the Government got paid its money on time. If you look at the EIC Charters its not about empires or conquest, its about loans an finance. The Charters were renewed regularly to take account of changing circumstances as the EIC operated worldwide not just India. As I said British military personnel were hired on 20 year contracts to the EIC. The whole idea of the monopoly was that the EIC was not controlled by the Government . The EIC monopoly was cancelled in India because of the Sepoy Mutiny in 1858. It was only then that control of India passed directly to the Crown. The company continued to trade in other parts of the World, in particular China until the EIC was dissolved in 1873.
