  • Centenary WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas
    First World War Centenary WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas www.1914.org WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas - Foreword Foreword The Prime Minister, Rt Hon David Cameron MP The centenary of the First World War will be a truly national moment – a time when we will remember a generation that sacrificed so much for us. Those brave men and boys were not all British. Millions of Australians, Indians, South Africans, Canadians and others joined up and fought with Britain, helping to secure the freedom we enjoy today. It is our duty to remember them all. That is why this programme to honour the overseas winners of the Victoria Cross is so important. Every single name on these plaques represents a story of gallantry, embodying the values of courage, loyalty and compassion that we still hold so dear. By putting these memorials on display in these heroes’ home countries, we are sending out a clear message: that their sacrifice – and their bravery – will never be forgotten. 2 WW1 Victoria Cross Recipients from Overseas - Foreword Foreword FCO Senior Minister of State, Rt Hon Baroness Warsi I am delighted to be leading the commemorations of overseas Victoria Cross recipients from the First World War. It is important to remember this was a truly global war, one which pulled in people from every corner of the earth. Sacrifices were made not only by people in the United Kingdom but by many millions across the world: whether it was the large proportion of Australian men who volunteered to fight in a war far from home, the 1.2 million Indian troops who took part in the war, or the essential support which came from the islands of the West Indies.

  • A Familial and Personal Details of Gurkha Army Major Dal Bahadur
    CHAPTER - 1 Introduction Gurkhas Identity and Discourse The Gurkhas have the glorious history form the past to present. They are known as the heroes of war in the world. Their regimental histories have spanned almost two centuries. The histories of Gurkhas are crammed with acts of incredible bravery and sacrifice. And their battle honors include an unprecedented twenty six Victoria Cross. The Gurkhas' particular reputation as fearsome fighting men remains unmatched anywhere in the world and was no better demonstrated than in the falkland's conflict in 1982. There the mere threat of their Khukuri knives put fear into the hearts of the Argentines and probably encouraged their swift surrender at Port Stanley and saved far greater loss of life. "Better to die than to be coward" is the motto at the Gurkhalies There are not any such major battles which are untouched by the Gurkhas army. Victory is mostly certain with the participation of Gurkhas army. Britain got victory on Malaya (1941), Java (1946), Japan (1946) and Falkland's (1982) with the help of Gurkha army. Gurkhas army showed their power by the help of their shinning kukuri knives. Their bravery, in the First World War and Second World War, is craved on the history of world. The Gurkhas have been the British front line since 1815. More than 2,00,000 enlisted for the First World War, and a tenth of their number were killed or injured. In the Second World War 250,000 Gurkhas fought against the German in famous battles such as Monte Casino and Tobruk and ruthless Japanese soldiers in the Far East, again suffering heavy casualties.

You may remember from previous editions of Samachara, when the earthquakes struck Nepal back in 2015, we mobilised immediately to ensure people had emergency supplies, food and medical assistance as well as temporary accommodation. As weeks went on we turned our attention towards the ongoing support our veterans and their families would need, including, in many cases, new houses. We worked on an earthquake- resistant design for our homes which, crucially, could be easily replicated across the country and then went straight to work. We close our programme now having built over 1,000 of the houses. Continued on page 2 A WORD FROM OUR charity flourished under his assured Long may this amazing display of stewardship.

This contribution will be even stronger after the UK leaves the European Union. Commentary BRITAIN HAS a long history in this part of the world. The United Kingdom came to Southeast Asia, and to Singapore in particular, for reasons of self-interest: to open up new trade routes and protect existing ones. Two centuries later, our understanding of our self-interest is much wider: British interests are best served by an effective rules- based international system. Within this broader architecture, Britain’s interaction with Southeast Asia has been multi-faceted, ranging from security and defence to economic engagement and education. This is a relationship that has not only been mutually beneficial but is also set to grow, after the UK leaves the European Union. Enduring Defence & Security Cooperation The UK maintains an enduring defence presence in Asia Pacific. British Forces Brunei provides a permanent UK military presence in Southeast Asia, supporting peace and security and conducting defence engagement with ASEAN member states.

British Military Hospital, Rinteln SUMMARY: A survey was carried out on 4,500 serving officers and soldiers of the Brigade of Gurkhas in Singapore, Malaya and Hong Kong in 1971 and 1972. The results showed a prevalence of 11.3 cases of leprosy per thousand in this highly selected group. It. is suggested that some prevous estimates of the prevalence of leprosy in the general population of the Himalayan foothills underestimated the problem.

Summary of the Ridley Jopling classification of leprosy http://militaryhealth.bmj.com/ The prevalence of leprosy in the northern regions of the Indian sub-continent has been variously estimated from 1.15 to 39.3 per thousand (Hajini and Shah 1974, Nepal Health Survey 1966, Mali 1971, Berkeley and Berkeley 1969). The difficulties of estimating the prevalence of leprosy are considerable, particularly in view of the persistence of superstitions and taboos, not only among sufferers but also officials in countries where the disease is endemic or hyperendemic.

  • Gurkhas: Terms and Conditions of Service
    Gurkhas: Terms and Conditions of Service Standard Note: SN/IA/4671 Last updated: 12 June 2009 Author: Claire Taylor Section International Affairs and Defence Section The Terms and Conditions of Service of the British Army’s Brigade of Gurkhas were originally set down in accordance with the Tripartite Agreement of 1947 between the UK, India and Nepal. The agreement provided commonality with respect to key Service conditions such as pay and pensions, irrespective of whether Gurkhas were enlisted in the British or Indian Armies. Over the last few years various changes to Gurkha terms and conditions of service have been made in order to bring them more closely into line with their counterparts in the British Army. In September 2004 the decision to grant Gurkhas indefinite leave to remain in the UK upon completion of four years of service and the opportunity to eventually apply for British citizenship was announced by the Government. Changes to the Married Accompanied Service Allowance were also made in August 2005. In addition the MOD also announced in January 2005 that it would undertake a comprehensive review of Gurkha terms and conditions of service. The conclusions and recommendations of that review were published in March 2007. This note provides a brief history of the Gurkhas and the basic obligations for terms and conditions of service which were initially set down under the Tripartite Agreement. It examines the subsequent changes to those terms and conditions of service, including the wide-ranging recommendations of the MOD’s review. Further detailed information on the recent changes to immigration and citizenship rules and pension rights relating to Gurkhas following the March 2007 review is available in the following Library Standard Notes: SN/HA/4399, Immigration: discharged members of the Armed Forces, 11 June 2009 SN/BT/4375, Gurkha Pensions, 12 June 2009 This information is provided to Members of Parliament in support of their parliamentary duties and is not intended to address the specific circumstances of any particular individual.
