The Gorkha soldiers don’t need a citation for their bravery. They’ve had it thrust on them by those they have fought, by armies who have heard legends about their prowess, the blood-curdling war cry ‘Aayo Gorkhali’, the flash of the khukri knife, sometimes a wicked smile which says, ‘Don’t mess with me’. To commemorate their services, recently the diminutive Gorkhas and their veteran forebears had a grand get-together in Dehradun for a reunion of the 4/5 Gorkha Rifles (Frontier Force).
