The 5th Royal Gurkha Rifles was an infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the larger Gurkha contingent known for their bravery and exceptional skills. Formed in 1903, the regiment served in various conflicts across the globe, including World War I and World War II. Gurkhas, primarily from Nepal, are renowned for their loyalty, discipline, and prowess in combat, often recognized by their signature weapon, the kukri knife.
