On 28 April 2025, the Secretary of State for Defence announced the creation of the King’s Gurkha Artillery (KGA). The Gurkha Museum Trust is thrilled to celebrate this exciting new chapter in Gurkha history.

Our mission is to record the creation and disarmament of Gurkha cap badges and units, while also commemorating the Gurkhas’ campaigns, decorations, and deployment.

To celebrate the formation of the KGA, the museum has explored 200 years of rich Gurkha history, tracing the remarkable journey of the Gurkha Gunner. Discover the fascinating historical insights of this new Gurkha cap badge head over to the link in the bio!

At our museum, our collection features a wonderful

At our museum, our collection features a wonderful variety of items that tell the story of over 210 years of Gurkha history from around the world. It’s truly a treasure trove, but taking care of such a diverse collection comes with its own set of challenges.

One of our biggest concerns lately has been dealing with pests in our storage areas. We're happy to report that we’ve completed this process, which helps protect our collections, one of the mission of The Gurkha Museum Trust. We reached out to the Association of Independent Museums, and thanks to a generous grant from their Pilgrim Trust Collections Care Scheme, we were able to implement a freezing treatment for a large part of our stored collections.

A big thank you to Association of Independent Museums for their support in helping us care for our collection and to The Pilgrim trust for their generous grant. With their help, we’re proud to be able to protect, preserve, and promote 210 years of the incredible Gurkha history.

Today marks a significant milestone—the 10th ann

Today marks a significant milestone—the 10th anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Nepal. On April 25, 2015, at precisely 11:56 Nepal Standard Time, a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Gorkha district and leaving 8,632 dead and 19,009 injured.

In times of crisis, Gurkha soldiers have consistently risen to the occasion, providing essential emergency aid and executing countless lifesaving missions. When their homeland was shaken by this catastrophe, these soldiers returned to Nepal, ready to lend a helping hand. Known as Operation MARMAT, their deployment swiftly shifted from immediate relief efforts to long-term reconstruction.
