Proud to be Gurkhas

King Charles III of the United Kingdom has applauded the formation of King's Gurkha Artillery unit which was formally established in April 2025.


 

The King was greeted with a 21-gun salute at the venue and offered with a large traditional flower garland around his neck. He observed the parade being organised to celebrate the creation of the Army's first dedicated Gurkha Artillery Unit. Over the next three years, 400 Gurkha personnel will join the unit.

He highly praised the decade old enduring and deeply valued relationship between the United Kingdom and Nepal. During the event, he met military staff and families and posed for an official portrait with the soldiers.

 

 

The King's Gurkha Artillery draws upon a long tradition of Gurkha service in artillery roles and continues a tradition of military service to the UK.
