Aye. The Gurkhas' courage, bravery, loyalty and fighting prowess are legendary.
During the Japanese occupation of Singapore in WWII, the Japanese military tried to force the Gurkhas into slave labour. The Gurkhas refused saying that they had pledged service to the Queen of England and not the Emperor of Japan. They were promptly tortured by the Japanese to the extent that every single 1 of the them had their toes cut off. And still they refused to work for the Japanese. Eventually, even the Japanese military gave up trying to force them to work.

The 42 RM Cdo (and so are the other RM Commando Units) are highly trained professionals and can operate in any terrain after intensive training. I should know as I served under its "SBS" Section as a Naval Support Officer in the marshlands, river complex and jungles of Borneo during "Confrontation" in 1965. The 42 (it's called "Four- Two") will do us proud whenever and wherever they serve. Good luck & keep safe 42!

Members of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards received their operational medals for Afghanistan from The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at a ceremony yesterday, in Windsor, as part of a wider programme of Armed Forces Day activities for the Regiment. This marked the royal couple’s first visit to the Regiment, of which the Duke became Regimental Colonel earlier this year. The Irish Guards have just returned from a six month tour in Afghanistan in which they were deployed with the mission of developing the Afghan Army. In this task they were spread through 22 different locations in Helmand province. They suffered three fatalities on the tour, all from enemy action. Crown Copyright/MOD 2011
