Sadler, JohnTHE GURKHA WAY: A New History of the Gurkhas Tells the story of the Gurkhas from their inception to modern day through interviews, unpublished diaries and correspondence. With over 200 years' experience, these steadfastly loyal soldiers are a link to an imperial past but also a key component of the modern British army. There is no other comparable unit in any of the world's armies (with the obvious exception of the Indian Army), or one more respected and loved by the British. Contains 24 mono illustrations. The First World War sent the Regiment to the trenches, where battalion after battalion was decimated. Some 20 Gurkha battalions were deployed in the Second World War, which was soon increased to 45 following Dunkirk. Around 250,000 Gurkha soldiers would serve and were deployed most significantly in North Africa but also served with distinction in the Italian Campaign and Monte Cassino, as well as the decisive battles of Imphal and Kohima in the Far East. 1 vol, 360 pgs 2023 UK, PEN & SWORD NEW-dj, available December 2023 ......$50.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our GENERAL MILITARY
