EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print showcases a Rifleman of the 4th Gurkha Regiment in marching order, dating back to 1890. This exquisite watercolour was skillfully created by Alfred Crowdy Lovett and is now housed at the National Army Museum in London. The subject of this artwork is Rifleman Chanda Singh Gurung, a distinguished veteran of the 2nd Afghan War (1878-1880). He stands proudly, adorned in his regiment's uniform and equipped with a formidable breechloading Snider-Enfield rifle. However, it is his traditional Gurkha kukri that truly catches the eye - a symbol of both utility and bravery. This remarkable piece was featured in "A Types of the Bengal Army" published by The Graphic on March 8th, 1890. It offers us an invaluable glimpse into the history and heritage of this esteemed regiment. Formed in 1857, the 4th Gurkha Regiment played an instrumental role on both India's North West and North East Frontiers. Their service was marked by courage and dedication as they protected their homeland from various threats. As we admire this striking image today, let us pay tribute to these brave soldiers who have left an indelible mark on history through their unwavering commitment to duty.
