- The 2024 intake of recruits to Brigade of Gurkhas has marked the completion of training with a passing out parade at ITC Catterick.
This year, there was a remarkably high first-time pass rate of 99.7% recruits - who now progress to either specific trade training or into one of the two infantry battalions that make up the Royal Gurkha Rifles.
Gurkha training lasts nine months and follows what is widely considered to be the most arduous recruit selection process in Britain's Armed Forces.

The youth of Britain could learn a lot from these fine young soldiers.
Well said!
You could learn but you didn't...
@@kennymedic58 The British working class youth use to be like this in past I know from my father's family served in the war from a mining family sadly too many were sacrificed in WW1 we never recovered since.
@@johnbeans2000 did I not.
Don't put all youth in same category, Iv been to Britain couple times and i've met some very strong minded and well mannered youth, immigration and snowflake puppet governments is what killing your country slowly!! Fight for your country ✊🏼 love from Russia 🇷🇺 🤝
The Gurkhas always take me back to the stories my Father would speak about when I was a youngster. He served alongside them in Burma during WW2, always praising them for their abilities and how proud he was to have known them. I said good-bye to him forty years ago, on his behalf I salute these young warriors .
Saw some Gurkha'a on my way to the Falklands in 1982, small guys carrying bags bigger than me and so friendly and polite and proud.
Legends. I've met a few retired Gurkas. Humble, polite, but just by how they carried themselves you could see they were ready for anything that comes their way. As the saying goes, any man that says he's not afraid of dying is either lying or a Gurka.
God bless them.
Your prose is utter nonsense…..
@@mikewinston8709 the one whose prose is nonsense is yours
@@mikewinston8709it makes perfect sense. Do you not understand it? Are you poorly coded?
We salute 🫡 you men . Proud of you . From England 🏴 🇬🇧
Congratulations young men, बधाई हो
Great that they caught up with them 9 months on. Their English has improved greatly! I'm sure they will all go on to be amazing soldiers.
Welcome to the British army gentlemen. It’s a club of many characters and nationalities and all who speak of you do so with the greatest of respect and admiration . “Better to die than be a coward”.👍🇬🇧👊
Fantastic people a credit to Britain and its armed forces congratulations to these wonderful young men
Thank you so much for your service. I'm proud to have you as one of our armed forces.
Thank you so much to all Gurkas who honour the British Army with your presence ... 😊 Huzzah!!
Very proud of the Gurkhas, a truly formidable reputation and held in the highest respect. My Grandfather served alongside them in the Chindits. He always spoke highly of them all, congratulations and best wishes to you all.
Gurkhas are a very disciplined and well mannered lot. Congrats everyone!
They look fabulous and we in the UK are so proud for each and everyone of these remarkable young men, Kudos 👏..and with Thanks. XX
We are proud to have your excellent skilled men in the UK forces
Legendary soldiers of the British Army
Such a fabulously proud and worthy brigade. Best wishes to this year’s new Ghurka’s
Ekdham ramro! Rai anii Limbu are east Nepal and yes they all have different traditions, ask them about their pork ko masu currys 😂😋
Tiniharuko English ramro lagyo!
Thulo samman Gurkha haru ko laggi.
Malaii asha cha they grow like Gurkhas before them and teach others like they did me in Derby and invite them in and take them to Nepal and look after them in their houses like a retired Royal Engineer did with me last year. Ive seen it, enjoyed it and found it harder than the UK and thats as a tourist although I put it down as a life experience and keep learning Nepali since I had never left the UK before and am 50 now.
What a truly special bunch, willing to die and join us to make a better life. Amazing since others come to this country for a free ride yet these fight hard for years just to get to selection. Then when they get in do a job which risks their lives. Love them, they will love you and love the fact you love their motherland.
Look around you, everywhere you see Nepalis they fly the flag of Nepal and the country they move to FACT. They respect their new country as much as their own.
And if that isnt enough ask them for Nepali khana, their food is second to none.
Ma Nepal miss garchu, Steve Dai
Fine soldiers indeed
Finest in the British army. Legendary! Forever British and should have full British rights forever!
Wonderful people. Well done gentlemen
The gurka's are some of the niceist ppl you can ever meet & so dedicated to the Army
Absolutely Stunning. God bless everyone of them. Bring in more Gurkhas to the UK. The 4000 is not really enough. Make it 12000. You get the best.
I was a volunteer medical mission worker in Nepalajung. There was an Gurka Army base en route to the hospital. They did road work in full pack n frames. Retired Gurka's guarded the housing at the medical college I stayed at in town. They are highly respected in their own country. Draw a pension for life back at home good for them.
We are proud to have your excellent skilled men in the UK forces. These are the immigrants we want in the UK
Just had to say Well Done to All of these Lads.
With an almost perfect pass rate, the British army could probably triple the size of the force recruited each year with no drop in those very high standards. Given their excellent combat history of about 200 years, I don't see a downside, especially when army recruiters in the wider British army are having problems reaching their quotas.
Their indefatigable quality is unity. :Long may it benefit the British armed forces.
They are legendary.
Fabulous regiment. We are lucky and proud to have them in our Army
Massive respect to the gurkha soldiers. I am so pleased that they are our allies.
What do they expect? Respect!
What do we expect? Respect!
What is obtained to benefit us all here in the UK - RESPECT!
Fantastic 👌
Sadly one of the last bastions of this Country’s Commonwealth, Self-Respect and Pride. Anyway Fantastic Achievement, Well Done Chaps!! Cheers.👍
Damn, they look sharp!
They have all grown in those 9 short months. Love our Gurkhas.
Utter Billy Badass troops. I'm glad they are on our side.
Congratulations all.
Yet the British government didn't want to give them citizenship when they finished their service but happy to give everything to people who haven't done anything for this country.
😂😂😂
Most elite of defenders ❤
Simply outstanding
Perhaps if every British army regiment had a company of Gurkhas, it would solve the shortage of recruits
The Gurkha selection is based on on forced marches carrying rocks because traditionally Gurkhas were hill farmers and couldn’t run long distances in a straight line.
Love and respect
The Gurkha's are a credit to the British army...
With shortages in the Infantry and numbers down we should triple the Gurkha intake numbers as a minimum. British politics standing in the way as usual. These amazing soldiers just never cease to amaze. Politics gone wrong! Recruiting not working but nobody wants to address the situation!
It's nothing to do with British politics, there is a tripartite agreement in place between the UK, India and Nepal that the UK cannot alter unilaterally.
@@Orbital_Inclinationthey definitely can increase recruit numbers since the biggest Gurkha intake in recent years was 432 recruits in 1 year
What do the orange collar trims signify?
Red collar trims are the one who are chosen for the Gurkha infanty batallion - Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR)
The only British regiment that has not been tarnished by wokery.
Nice to have a group of people who don't keep criticizing our imperial past see the positive side what Britain did for them unlike a lot of the other cultures we have here.
It's not exactly a bad thing to take a balanced view and acknowledge that our country treated some of our imperial subjects awfully
they are the best!!!
Very hypocritical of Britain to have these soldiers from Nepal in their army and not give them UK citizenship. After their service they can apply like any other person from Nepal but must meet other residency requirements. Shameful treatment.
🤔if only our Government was as loyal to the British people as these guys !!
Parroting the same old lines, huh? Another 2 year old account having a moan
🔥🔥🔥
What a difference to the woke other army that masquerades as the British army. They are a great bunch of fellows and it is interesting they are training where I was born 90 years ago. My dad was in the East York's.
Russia, recruiting poor villagers from Nepal, is wrong. The UK, importing thousands of them throughout the centuries, is right.
Exactly. Because dictatorships doing ANYTHING is wrong.
A lot of them were tricked, being students in Russia and such
The Nepalese recruits in the Russian Army are crying to go home, while the ones in the British Army love it
Just gives you a idea of which country treats them better, Gurkha rights withstanding
@@SodaPrezsing That is what they say when got captured.
@@one4allall4one56 I mean the ones who are still on the Russian side are saying this, the uncaptured ones being used like human waves
Get that Sikh regiment raised too
is that big phill in the kilt
The Gurkhas received 13 Victoria Cross's not 26
26 including Officers, bare in mind ethnic Gurkhas could only be awarded VC’s only after 1911
They got the Indian Order of Merit before
@SodaPrezsing thank you for clarifying
Let’s hope the alcohol culture of the British army doesn’t ruin them? There is a very high incidence of alcoholism within the Ghurkas….
That alcohol culture is becoming a thing of the past. The younger generation of soldiers spend less time in the bar and more time in the gym than previous generations, on average.
Sodexo's contact caused all the cheap and secret camp bars down so they'd have the monopoly of drink sales on camp! But seeing as most troops spend their down time masterbating and playing games consoles they don't mix and socialise like they used to
😮😅the 4:32 4:35
where are the women? none to be seen
The UK government has allowed the possibility of female gurkhas since 2018, but the Nepalese government does not currently allow them to sign up. We have no say over what Nepal decides to do regarding military service gender laws.
10,000 new Gurkhas, the finest soldiers in the world, to help in Ukraine.
Another Indian version
Near 100% pass rate tells me that training isn't challenging enough.
or.. these gurkha recruits were tough as nails and managed to pass?
Look it up, it's tough.
No, it tells that the pre selection pays off and also tells that you know nothing ..
@@darrensteele7880 that’s spot on 😂
Their pre- selection has got harder and harder over the years before they even got to UK. When they manage to get here, the training is a bit harder still , the standard to pass is the same except for a few areas where the standard is a bit higher. The Royal Gurkha Rifles are considered assault infantry, alongside the Paras, Guards Regiments and Royal Marines. If almost all the trainees that make it here, meet the standard and pass out, that's a good thing for the British Army
Nice to know that Nepal will have a better army than the UK! Ours is underfunded and woke riddled. Hopefully some modern youngsters will step up and keep us from the depredations of this government!
These are soldiers for the British Army
No chance, who's willing to fight for a country that doesn't even want us here? 😅
You missed the part that these soldiers are in the British Army...I know understand why you failed joining the armed forces..
Are you a little bit thick derek?
@@AndyWoohoo666 if that is to me... i've served.
Nonnscet celebrat
Looking tip top gentlemen 🫡🇬🇧🇳🇵good luck.
