The Prince of Wales, Colonel in Chief of The Royal Gurkha Rifles, during a visit to 2nd Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles at Shorncliffe barracks in Folkestone, Kent, to celebrate 200 years of Gurkha service to the Crown on July 1. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Picture date: Wednesday July 1, 2015. Charles hailed Gurkhas as "the very best of soldiers" as he helped mark the 21st anniversary of one of their regiments during a visit to their barracks. Charles attended a reception where he met members of the Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR) and their families during which he cut a cake with a traditional kukri knife. His visit comes in the bicentenary marking two centuries of service by Gurkha soldiers who have served alongside British forces in every major conflict. Charles said: "Now though the regiment is only 21 years old, it comes from a Gurkha lineage of 200 years of unbroken, dedicated, loyal service to the Crown with an enviable war-fighting history. "In recent times, RGR has played a significant role in operations throughout the world, not least in Afghanistan and in jungle warfare training in Brunei. "Your forefathers would be most proud of you here today, continuing to demonstrate achievement and together ensuring the worldwide reputation of Gurkhas as the very best of soldiers."
