For those readers unacquaint- ed with these gentlemen it should be noted that the Gurk- has are hillmen from Nepal, an independent country between India and Tibet. Short in stature but slightly more solid than the Japanese, they are doughty fighters noted for frugality, dour self-discipline, freedom from vice or corruption and a highly developed taste for mili- tary adventure. They dislike Orientals. but appear to admire The British War Office will no doubt be sorry to lose the Gurkhas if the brigade is dis- banded, but it must be admit- ted that the kukri is a little outdated when compared to the modem means we have at our “disposal for waging war. Nowa- ‘days a short squirt of napalm can do the job of 1.000 kukris , and nothing must stand in the V “4‘ way of progress. European habits in war and sport. “They are interested in kill- ing,“ says a man who saw the Gurkhas in action in Borneo. "They are not savages, they just go about the military busi- ness rather more efficiently than anybody else." In earlier days. the Gurkhas had a tradition that, once un- sheathed, the kukri could not be replaced without drawing blood. Their device for disting- uishing friend from foe in night fighting during World War II was to creep up from behind, take a stranglehold and then feel with the fingertips whether the helmet was the right shape, denoting an Allied soldier; and 3the practice froze the blood of ‘ many an Allied sentry, pending ‘ recognition by the helmet test. The historical reason for the long Gurkhas association with the British Army dates from 1814, when the two sides fought each other to a standstill and developed a mutual admiration for fighting abilities. ‘ Members are reminded that the first general meeting of 1968 will take place this coming lMonday at 8 pm. lni IGA PEACHES LIBBY’S SPAGHETTI Pillsbury CAKE MIXES BIG “G” CEREAL IGA CHEESE SLICESE?
