The world has lost a man who redefined what is possible. Nirmal Purja, or Nims, was a bright light of inspiration to countless people. In the Brigade of Gurkhas we are proud to call him one of our own. But his achievements belong to none of us, because it was he himself who showed us that the easy path is not the one that leads to achievement. He died on Broad Peak in Pakistan in a tragic accident that also took the lives of others from around the world, all mountaineers united in the spirit of challenge and human endeavour. We mourn them all. But we also celebrate remarkable lives, and none more so than that of Nims. A soldier, a Gurkha, a mountaineer, a husband, a father, a son and a brother. You have shown us a path - we must rise to your example. Rest in peace Nims.

Major General Gez Strickland (Colonel Commandant the Brigade of Gurkhas).

What a fantastic day for the Brigade of Gurkhas, as the His Majesty The King visits The King's Gurkha Artillery in Larkhill last week.

The Royal Artillery (RA) and the Brigade of Gurkhas were honoured to welcome His Majesty King Charles III as the Inspecting Officer for the official formation parade of The King’s Gurkha Artillery (KGA) on 4 June 2026.

His Majesty was received with a 21‑gun salute before being presented with a traditional mala flower garland. Children of Gurkha families then stepped forward to offer flowers to the King, adding a warm and personal touch to the occasion.

In his address, His Majesty celebrated the establishment of the British Army’s newest regiment and expressed his pride in witnessing the formation of the KGA in his role as Captain General of the Royal Artillery.
