Download or read book Jai Sixth written by James Lunt and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 1994-07-14 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the 6th Queen Elizabeth's Own Gurkha Rifles from the Regiment raising in 1817 as the Cuttack Legion in the service of the Honourable East India Company until it's amalgamation with the 2nd King Edward VII's Gurkha Rifles ( The Sirmoor Rifles) to form the First Battalion of The Royal Gurkha Rifles in 1994. In the course of its 177 years' existence the Regiment has had many changes of title, acquiring its present one in 1959 when it became 'Queen Elizabeths Own'. In the days of the empire when men of many different races and religions served under the British Crown it was probably the Gurkha soldier who most captured the imagination of the British people, partially on account of his outstanding courage in battle, and partially because of his loyalty and sheer good humour. Prior to Independence in 1947 the former Indian Army contained ten regiments of Gurkha Rifles, each of two battalions. In 1948 four of these, of which the 6th Gurkha's was one, were transferred to the British Army. The others remained in the Indian Army. During the First World War the 6th greatly distinguished themselves at Gallipoli, and later Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, Salonika and Afghanistan. In the Second World War the Regiment fought in all the main theatres except North-West Europe, particularly in Burma where the Third Battalion was awarded two Vcs in one battle when serving with Wingate's Chindits. After the war the Regiment played a prominent part in Malaya during the Emergency, and later in Borneo during the confrontation with Indonesia. As will be evident to the reader of this book, wherever they served the 6th lived up to the Gurkha philosophy that is is 'Better to doe then live a coward. The book also bears out the assertion that Field Marshal Viscount Slim, himself an officer of the 6th, that the Gurkha is 'the ideal infantryman'. Although it is sad that, owing to the reduction in strength of the British Army the 6th Gurkhas are being required to amalgamate with the equally distinguished 2nd Gurkhas, it is at least comforting that there will be Gurkhas serving in the Crown, as there have been since 1815. Long may they continue to do so, but no longer will the stirring cry 'Jai Sixth! (Go Sixth) be heard on the battlefield or sports ground. Royalties from sales of this book have been donated by the author to the 6th Gurkha's Benevolent Fund.

This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 1003 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gurkha Army Service Corps, the predecessor of The Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment, was raised in Singapore in 1958 ten years after the transfer of Gurkha regiments from the Indian Army to the British Army and towards the end of the Malayan Emergency. Within four years of being formed, it was committed to continuous operations in Brunei and Borneo during Confrontation with Indonesia between 1962-66. It was also redesignated the Gurkha Transport Regiment in 1965 to reflect changes to the Army’s logistic structure. Between 1966-71, the Regiment was substantially reduced in size, along with the rest of The Brigade of Gurkhas, as Britain withdrew its forces from East of Suez. Concentrated in Hong Kong, the Regiment provided transport support to the Garrison for the next 20 years. In 1991, a composite squadron was sent to reinforce British Forces in the Gulf War after which, in preparation for the handback of Hong Kong to China, the Regiment moved to and became permanently stationed in the UK. In recognition of its past services, it was granted the royal title ‘The Queen’s Own Gurkha Transport Regiment’ in 1992. The following two decades saw it undertake multiple operational tours to the Balkans, Iraq, Cyprus and Afghanistan as well as providing humanitarian assistance to the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone. It also expanded both its role, to incorporate supply and catering, and size, which led in 2001 to it being redesignated to its current title ‘The Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment’. This history records the events and activities of the Regiment during its first 60 years of service to the Crown. While of wider interest to military historians, it is principally written for members of the Regiment, past, present and future.
Download or read book Modest Major General written by Rupert Litherland and published by New Generation Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colonel Rupert Litherland's last published work was a highly regarded biography of Major General Bunny Burnett, and he has now returned to the fray with a biography of Major General Ronnie McAlister. Both men were 10th Gurkhas, both held the post of Major General Brigade of Gurkhas but were very different personalities. With Burnett what you saw was what you got: scruffy, laid back, extrovert, hail fellow well met, humorous, a smoker who enjoyed a drink, all of which did nothing to hide a great deal of common sense, tremendous professional competence and much operational experience that had won him an MC and a DSO. McAlister was much less of an extrovert, outwardly reserved, not at all showy, impeccably mannered, and a modest drinker but with a sharp and perceptive brain with the ability to reduce the most complicated situations to its basics that could be understood by all. In terms of authorship this biography was probably much more difficult to write than that of Burnett, if only because Ronnie McAlister was much more of a private person. Commissioned into the 3rd Gurkhas in 1942 and a temporary major three years later, he transferred to 10th Gurkhas when his own 3rd Gurkhas went to the army of the newly independent India. McAlister swiftly gained a reputation as a superb trainer and staff officer. Litherland traces this phase of his career in detail and shows how McAlister's reputation for being able to shine in any demanding staff appointment reduced his experience of operations. That may well be so, but as this book shows admirably, when 'Ronnie Mac' took command of 1/10th Gurkha Rifles that battalion achieved more in the course of the Borneo campaign than any other Gurkha battalion - and that bar was very high indeed.Of particular value, not just to the Brigade but to military historians generally, is the account of the events on the Hong Kong border in 1967 when McAlister was in command of 1/10 GR. Litherland has gone to great lengths to uncover previously unpublished sources and to interview leading participants, and he has produced what is certainly the most accurate account to date, and which is unlikely to be surpassed.As Litherland says, those of us who knew General Ronnie and had served under him would have liked to acknowledge his service and his friendship at a memorial service, but it is the measure of the man that when he knew he was dying, at the very respectable age of ninety-two, he insisted that there was to be no fuss and no memorial service.This is an excellent book which well captures the character of a fine officer and a man of great kindness and humility who even when achieving high rank never lost the human touch.
