Over 100,000 Gorkha soldiers serve in World War I across France, Mesopotamia, and Gallipoli. Their gallantry in the trenches becomes legendary across the world.

More than 250,000 Gorkhas fight across Burma, North Africa, and Italy. Individual acts of extraordinary bravery earn numerous Victoria Crosses.
