Intake 1984
the Brigade of Gurkhas
Intake 1984 joined the Brigade of Gurkhas, a part of elite forces of British Army in January and February 1984 from Dharan and Pokhara respectively. Having been through thousands of contenders for the placements, 498 were selected to do the hard fought training at Training Depot, Brigade of Gurkhas at Malaya Lines, Sek Kong, and Hong Kong. After having been through rigorous 9 months of Basic Military Training we were selected to join our respected Regiments/Battalion apart from Clerk personnel who were again to attend 3 months Clerical Course to gain clerical knowledge before they could join the Regiment/Battalions.
As year passes by so does the season, we have also completed our colour services, serving the Brigade and the British Army apart from few Numbaries who are still serving and we should be proud of them as they have made us high in the annals of the Brigade of Gurkhas.
Now we are retired soldiers settled with their families here and abroad. In order to make our memories down the lane and for the betterment of our Intake, Community has been formed to interact within ourselves. The following personnel have taken the responsibility to continue the “Togetherness and Solidarity” of our Intake 1984:
