Hot Jungle, Cold War: The Gurkhas in the Borneo Confrontation

As part of our Borneo 60 commemorations, join us at The Gurkha Museum for our special temporary exhibition, located in the second-floor McDonald Gallery.
 

Discover the remarkable story of the Gurkhas’ role in Borneo during the conflict of 1963-1966, a challenging campaign fought in dense jungle terrain during the height of the Cold War. Through fascinating displays, photographs, artefacts, and activity booklets the exhibition explores the courage, resilience, and contribution of Gurkha soldiers during this important period of history.

Whether you are a history enthusiast, visiting with family, or discovering Gurkha history for the first time, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the experiences of those who served in Borneo.

We look forward to commemorating the 60th anniversary of the end of the Borneo Confrontation with you.
