I was talking with someone involved with the Gurkha Regiments last week and they were telling me that they are gearing up for their 200th anniversary as part of the British Army in 2015. This is causing havoc with their plans for the commemoration of the beginning of WW1 next year, with the obvious staff concentration needed for the following years celebrations. They maybe looking for volunteers for these projects based at the Regimental Museum in Winchester. So, keep 'em peeled.
