The 1st BTN Royal Gurkha Rifles Plaque (I RGR) is one of the latest additions by Ex Gurkha Khukuri house to enhance the Gurkhali items and also to honor the prestigious Brigade of Gurkhas. It is actually the replicated version of the original ones found only in official army departments and the Gurkha Museum in the UK.The Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR) is a regiment of the British Army, forming part of the Brigade of Gurkhas. The Royal Gurkha Rifles are now the sole infantry regiment of the British Army Gurkhas. Like the other Gurkha regiments of the British and Indian armies, the regiment is recruited from Gurkhas from Nepal, which is a nation independent of the United Kingdom and not a member of the Commonwealth. The regiment was formed in 1994 from the amalgamation of the four separate Gurkha regiments in the British Army: 2nd King Edward VII’s Own Gurkha Rifles (The Sirmoor Rifles) 6th Queen Elizabeth’s Own Gurkha Rifles 7th Duke of Edinburgh’s Own Gurkha Rifles 10th Princess Mary’s Own Gurkha Rifles The Royal Gurkha Rifles are considered to be some of the finest soldiers in the world, as is evidenced by the high regard they are held in for both their fighting skill, and their smartness of turnout on parade. Their standard of drill is considered to be on a par with that of the Foot Guards and in July 1997 the regiment mounted the guard at Buckingham Palace.
