The historic First Gorkha Regiment (GR) of the Indian Army would raise a new battalion in April next year. It’s after a gap of almost five decades that the Gorkha Regiment would be raising new battalion. As of now First Gorkha Regiment has five battalions and the new battalion would be known as 6/1GR.This served as a reminder of all the soldiers from the Indian sub-continent, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and Gorkhas who travelled across oceans to fight gory battles in foreign and distant lands.
Amongst others Jammu & Kashmir, the largest princely state and its state forces also played an important role in the WWI.The Dogras of Jammu Kashmir, have a century old martial tradition, their history a reflection of who they really are, as a people. The term Dogra broadly refers to the people of the Jammu Region, both Hindus and Muslims including the Jat and Gujjar clans who made up the Forces which founded the State as we see it today, extending its frontiers through military campaigns fought at such treacherous terrains and severe weather that they remain unparalleled in military history.
