Emotional Day As Gurkhas Leave Catterick | Forces TV 

My dad is a gurkha and he hass worked his ass off from the age of 17 to not 45. He started as a soldier from Kathmandu and now is a Major living in Andover with his family of 4. I am ver proud to be his son.

Absolute gentleman I hope they know how much everyone loves them

My father (a WWII tank commander), always spoke highly of the Gurkhas. Their reputation is legendary. They are amazing men and soldiers.

My dad said if you had a Gurkha for a friend ,you had a friend for life .

I had the pleasure of meeting three of these young recruits on the train a few months ago. Absolutely lovely respectful and courteous gentlemen. A credit to themselves, their regiments, their country and the Queen.

such loyalty is a rare thing these days one hell of a force...

All Regiments in the UK ridicule each other but each and every regiment has massive respect for these guys.

Fine soldiers ! you are loved by Britain for your loyalty and courage, we are so lucky to be your brothers in arms.

As ever, Sir Ralph Turner's tribute to the Gurkhas still resonates: "... Uncomplaining you endure hunger and thirst and wounds; and at the last your unwavering lines disappear into the smoke and wrath of battle. Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had country more faithful friends than you."

True warriors!

I will now tell a story told to me: There was a night at a bar that a bunch of infantry men were essentially the only customers. Eventually, as happens, a fight broke out, and it was a proper bar room brawl. At the end, there was only one man who was completely unscathed. He was a gurkha, and throughout the entire event he sat at the bar calmly drinking his drink, as he felt no need to defend anyone, and no need to fight anyone, as they had not harmed him. Even in the middle of a brawl, these men gave this small Nepalese man a wide berth, as no one wanted to mess with him. That is the power and gravitas of the Gurkhali.

Honoured, May each and everyone of you lads live long and happy lives

The englishman speaking nepali was awesome.

A proud people, the Gurkha's, and will served proudly in their given area's of operations.

loyalty, dependability, ferocity, courageous, formidable force..adaptable..these are the Gurkha soldiers..

So beautiful to see. The bond theh share, how proud they are and very much motivated. From the Netherlands my great respect.

welcome to the UK lads . we are very proud to have you living amoung us .

These people will smile to you and then chop an enemy's head off in the same time. Got to love and respect.

Bless their souls!! Real gentlemen, love them all!

damn fine soldiers

brave men......100% respect.

its incredible how quickly they learn the language and culture.

From East Texas, May God bless and look over you with safety........

I recall Field Marshal Sam's words for Gurkha people "If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or he is a Gurkha."

❤❤ Love from india.. Brave Gurkha..🙏

Long live the Gurkhas! Massive respect from the Philippines! 🙌

Namaste my brothers, you have an incredible legacy to keep alive.

3:57 My friend..glad to see u in video.god bless u

Massive respect for these men ,

Huge amount of love and pride for these guys

Marvellous fellows. Quiet, polite and self effacing, these are warriors to the core. These small, smiling guys could run rings around every other military force in this planet.

I would wager that guys that are this emotional (in a good way) during a time like this are capable of extraordinary courage and ferocity should the time need it.

Joanna Lumley god bless you too for helping these true gentleman soldiers

That is big and huge respect to gurkha from Captain when he spoke in Nepali.😍😍

They are truly amazing soldiers, there's nobody else I'd want to fight shoulder to shoulder with 👍

Most beautiful and gentle people you will ever meet . . . until someone treats them disrespectfully or makes them angry

There tears connect to my emotions❤️❤️. Very proud of you ❤️❤️

These are the people you should let into Britain. Not the illegal immigrants. Gurkhas have my biggest respect.

I asked my brother when he passed out from Catterick, who what was the toughest regiment up there. I assumed the paras, but he said the Gurkhas. Not only that, they're nice guys also he said, which is good

Had a toothache on camp in Aldershot, same day as the Gurkha's regiment check up. When they all walked in the waiting room, I can say I had never been so scared and we are on the same side ha ha

proud warriors.

So proud of these kind and civil men

Thank you for being with us in the UK. You are the best of the best. God bless you all.

our Gurkha brothers! any gurkha is welcome in my home. respect

I was the son of a serving man in HKG and remember fondly the generosity, the humour and vigour of the young men of the Gurkha Regiments based there.

100% admiration.

WELL DONE to ALL of them and THANK YOU to ALL of them. :)

In mid-1980's I had the great privilege to work with an Englishmen who was a Captain in the Gurkha Regiment during the Second World War. Quiet and unassuming, like the Ghurkas, but fiercely proud of his connection with them. He said they are true warriors but fight with courage and honour.

Glad they're on our side.

I know u r Brave best of luck from Nepal

my son is currently working alongside a Gurkha , a little funny to watch as my son is 7 ft tall ! lol great people great soldiers .

My father saw the Gurkhas in his village in Indonesia at the end of WWII. He had nothing but great respect of them because they were tough as nails and friendly to him and his friends. He told me a story about a drunk Japanese officer who got crazy in the village one day after Japan surrendered. A Gurkha patrol came through with their officer keeping the peace, flying the flag, meeting and greeting everyone. The officer told the Japanese officer (who had been allowed to keep his pistol for protection) to go back to his camp and sleep it off. The Japanese officer didn't like what he was being told, got stupid, and went for his sidearm, more than likely just intending to wave it around and show everyone his big, hairy brass balls. My dad, who always tended to be in the right place at the wrong time, said a Gurkha Bren gunner whipped his kukri out of its sheath, cut the Japanese officers ear off, reversed the blade, and laid against the officers throat, smiling the whole time. The point was made and the Japanese officer was disarmed, bandaged up, and sent packing back to his camp minus his ear. Shortly after that the Japanese were rounded up and removed from the area by the English.

well done guys.. thank you all..

My Dad (RSM 3 RAR) back in the 80's had the pleasure in hosting several regiments when they traveled over here to OZ for some training. Gentlemen, fierce and highly tenacious.

Do not cry boys! You will all be fine!

Fearsome, yet sensitive! Very special young men.

Good luck in your new adventure!

Such nice guys, so proud, respect to you all, thank you for your service!!!!

All the dislikes for this video are from the families of the dead taliban the gurkhas killed lol

Respect

All the best from Australia, fellows. Respect.

Manly tears .. ❤❤❤

My grandpa always told me that it was the Australians and Nepelese Gurkas with there slouched hats and the Scots with their kilts that the Germans feared the most

My Grandfather an Artillery sergeant, always spoke with reverence for the men of the Gurkha rifles He had served with during & before WWII. We all love the Gurkha. Most honourable brothers in arms that they are. Hip hip Hooray.

Congratulations we Americans are proud of you I have nothing but respect for the Gurkhas I met a lot of Gurkha while I did convoy security in Afghanistan one Gurkha became one of my best friends his name is Batsa and he is my best friend to this day

Nothing but love and respect to our Gurkha Brothers. They are always in our hearts as any veteran would agree

It's strange. Watching this evokes powerfully, for the first time in over 44 years, the emotions I felt on the day I and everyone else in my year left school forever. For me it was just another jolly school occasion until the time came to disperse for the final time and it was then that I was overwhelmed by a feeling of profound sadness (which I disguised). I understand now that I realised it was the end of childhood and things would never be the same after that day.

Total respect for these great people, who are great soldiers as well

I admire and subscribe to these boy's commitment. Nothing more can be asked of them than to do their duty. Semper Fidelis, Angel Fire Memorial.

❤i have tears of thanks❤

I’m a taxi driver in Glasgow, had the honour of picking up an Gurkha, great conversation with him, at end of journey, told him no charge and thanked him for his service, he insisted he would pay, he wouldn’t have a free taxi ride. In my opinion men of honour.

should be given full citizenship, brave men

Alots of respect to you all.

I work in. a. army barracks and I have met. and acknowledged many. Gurkhas. they are so polite. I respect them.

Nothing but respect, respect, respect.

How they change and look so different is just amazing.

Great people and men of great honour

God bless these fine men

Gurkha's have an awesome reputation. Brits should appreciate their service to the queen.

I’m Tibetan yet I found this budding soldiers full of an energy, devotion, loyalty and excitement,

Ayo gorkhali!! Here come the Gurkhas !!!

My Grandfather, who fought for the legendary 28th Māori Battalion, at the Battle of Cassino talked very highly of the Ghurkas. They reminded him of his ancestor Te Purewa. Great warriors, hearts of 10 lions and the heart of a peace maker. He fought alongside the Ghurkas during the attack at the "Castle". Too many good men died before reaching "Castle". Regardless "The Ghurkas were fearless" he said.

Thank you Gurkhas, you are awesome.

Good men. Respect

Our friends our gurkhas a true love affair god bless

As an Indian i can proudly say that Gorkhas hve given their blood and sweat to the country.We hve given nothing to the country but they r ready to sacrifice for us.Long live the BRAVE GORKHAS .

Bravery with a smile. Loyal to the death. Proud to call them allies.
