The Gurkhas are an elite fighting force from Nepal who have served
the British Crown since 1815. They occupy a unique place in the
public's imagination, and are renowned for their loyalty,
professionalism and resolve. Through stunning photography, Arc of
the Gurkha explores the span of the Gurkha career from recruitment
through to training and deployment up to post-military employment
and retirement. Alex Schlacher has accompanied the Gurkhas on
operations in Afghanistan, on exercises in the Brunei jungle and
Australia, and has visited all the units in the Brigade as well as
retired and medically discharged Gurkhas. She has taken intimate
portraits of hundreds of soldiers and heard their stories, many of
which are recounted in this book. There have been other books on
the Gurkhas, but none has portrayed the individual soldiers and
focused about their backgrounds, lives and thoughts. This unique
and insightful publication is the first to explore what it really
means for a Gurkha to be a Gurkha.
