Following the latest Government guidance regarding COVID-19 and careful consideration of the current situation, The Gurkha Museum has decided to close its doors to the public in the interest of visitor and staff safety, effective immediately.
The Museum will remain closed until further notice but will continue to operate behind the scenes with reduced staff on call to answer queries during this time. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will issue updates through our website and social media channels as soon as we become aware of further changes to our operations.
May we thank our Visitors, Friends and Supporters for their understanding and support through this difficult period.
![September 23rd marks the anniversary of the cap-badging ceremony of Queen's Gurkha Signals (then known as Gurkha Royal Signals). The ceremony, held at Lamjung Camp in Malaya in 1954, was presided over by then-Major-General of the Brigade of Gurkhas, Lancelot Perowne who said:
'This is a proud day. And one long to be remembered. For, this day, detachments representing all the units and sub-units of Gurkha Royal Signals are assembled here to take into use your own Regimental badge, which has been approved by Her Majesty The Queen, to establish for all time the intimate association between the Royal Corps of Signals and the Brigade of Gurkhas. [...] By your badge men shall know you. By your loyalty, by your behaviour, and by your technical skill, they will judge you as men, and measure your efficiency as soldiers'. #Gurkhas #gurkhahistory #onthisday #otd #onthisdayinhistory](https://thegurkhamuseum.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
