4th Gurkhas

[gurkharifles]

I recently acquired a job lot of Officers Association Journals to the 4GR. from the 1960's > 1980's. I always try to acquire these journals as they offer interesting and sometimes unique perspectives of regimental history with the officers anecdotes and personal stories of their military service - the print run of these journals was probably less than 100 - and very, very occasionally you get a nugget on their insignia. I found this photo in the 1981 journal of a display of 4GR insignia that had been on display in the Gurkha Museum when it was at Church Cookham but did not make it to public display when they moved to their current site in Winchester. I was drawn to one badge which I'd never seen before not even in the Museum's book on the 4GR ( which is strange given that they apparently have an example ) - anyway the photo is not great quality (cheap printing! ) - so I've "recreated" the badge myself - for you interest. NB the badge is in the right hand corner of the photo.
