		On February 3rd the Devons and a Ghurka battalion carried the enemy's first and second lines, and a series of counter-attacks by the Turks, which continued up till dark, withered away under our shrapnel and machine-gun fire.
		Two battalions of Ghurkhas who were using the two lower ferries, were met by a staggering fire before they reached the left bank but in spite of losses in men and pontoons they pressed on gallantly and effected a landing.
		The Ghurka battalions on the right and centre were meeting with more opposition, and their progress was slower.

	Ghurkas Again -- GZG List Archives -- November 2001
		He's the security Guard here at CNN that I mentioned was in a Ghurka Battalion.
		As he said, when his father was in the Ghurkas (he's apparently at least a 2nd Gen Ghurka) they really didn't pay much attention to the pay.
		But in his own time the Ghurka troops tended to learn a bit more and become more "clever" as he called it.

		I have read today from internet that Ghurka's (6th Battalion) and Turks had a fierce hand to hand fighting at Sari Bayir.
		Ghurka's won but had to wihdraw as none of the neigboring battalions succeeded to reach Sari Bayir.
		So I imagine to referred as "white Ghurka's" is a great compliment.

		I think that a Ghurka Battalion would be an extremely valuable assest to Australia, particularly with our engagement with SE Asia.
		I thought there was one incident, where the Ghurka's were approached by a ute with a few militia and the Ghurka's withdrew, instead of holding the line against the inferior trained, armed militia.
		We'd still have 2x battalions of excellent light infantery on tap with out the bleedin' hearts getting their noses out of joint...

		Sneaky, you should read up on the Ghurka's before you say that, during the Falklands war the Argentinians were so terrified of facing the Ghurka's that they actually fled towards the Royal Marines.
		For every act of valor that you can name by a Ghurka, I can name one equivalent by a US fighting man. And I won't have to look much further than the current conflict.
		For every successful operation by a Ghurka unit that you can name, I can name two of equal or greater impact by a US unit.
