10th Princess Mary's Own Gurkha Rifles

The 10th Princess Mary's Own Gurkha Rifles, commonly referred to as the 10th Gurkhas, was an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army, established in 1903. Renowned for their bravery and exemplary service, the regiment primarily recruited Gurkha soldiers from Nepal, reflecting a longstanding tradition of incorporating Gurkhas into the British military framework. Throughout its history, the 10th Gurkhas participated in numerous campaigns, including World War I and World War II, earning a distinguished reputation for professionalism and valor. Following India’s independence in 1947, the regiment was reconstituted as part of the Indian Army, continuing its legacy. The 10th Princess Mary's Own Gurkha Rifles remains a significant symbol of Gurkha heritage and military tradition.
