Gurkha Soldier




Bravest of the brave,
most generous of the generous, never had
country more faithful friends than you.


Sir Ralph Turner former officer in the 3rd Gurkha Rifles





Hello there

Now and again I have to go into London to go visit some sites there. Most of the time I bring the camera, problem I have is I look a bit like a pack horse, with camera bag, lag top bag and tools shared between the two bags.

Anyway on this trip decided to go towards whitehall and this statue caught my eye.

"The nine-foot Gurkha statue was sculpted by Philip Jackson and is located in London's Whitehall. It was commissioned by the Gurkha Brigade Association Trust and unveiled by the Queen accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Charles, who is Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Gurkha Rifles.

The Trust says the statue will act as a permanent memorial to "the most constant friend and ally that Britain has ever known."









Aperture: f/3.2 ISO Speed: 100 Exposure: 1/60 Canon EF 50mm f/1.8


On Black



Have cloned out some background, which I didn't mind blowing out. Then converted it to duotone.


All CC welcome

Cheers Holo

Re: Gurkha Soldier

Quite apt considering the recent strife over retired Gurkha status.
