GLENS FALLS TIMES, GLENS FALLS, N.Y., MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1967 Gurkha Brigade on Way Out As Britain Starts to Take Finest Fighters from Suez years many of them will be able to go home. and buy small hill farms, disbandment will hit many young men who wanted a long army career," an army spokesman said. "A lot of us are pretty sad about this." Gurkhas and British troops first met as foes when the Gurkhas overran part of northern India in the early 19th century. The Gurkhas fought like tigers, shouting their battle cry "ayo Gorkhali-The Gurkhas are upon you!" One British officer wrote: "I never saw more steadfastness or bravery exhibited in my life. Run they would not, and of death they seemed to have no fear." After bloody fighting the British force terms on the but were so impressed Gurkhas, enlisted Gurkha troops.

That was in 1815. The Gurkhas have been serving Britain ever since. Their favorite weapon, a razor-sharp knife called a kukri, proved a deadly in hand to hand combat. Gurkha troops fought in both world wars. Twelve won Britain's highest bravery award, the Victoria Cross, in living up to their motto: "It is better to die than live a coward." By GRANVILLE WATTS plus a pension of $56 a Associated Press Writer LONDON (AP) Britain's army has begun the sad task of disbanding some of its finest fighting men the Gurkhas.

The Gurkha brigade is being trimmed from 14,500 to 10,000 or less in line with the British government's policy of gradual withdrawal from east Suez outposts. The tough little hillmen from Nepal have fought as mercenaries for Britain for 150 years, and they have many admirers. "No matter what sort of job you give him, the Gurkha seems to come out on top," said one British officer. Gurkha troops recently earned praise for their coolness when fired on by Chinese troops on the Hong Kong border. About 4.000 Gurkhas are helping, to keep Union Jack 2 in that colony.

Singapore has 2,000 and the remainder are in various parts of Malaysia. The end of the four -year confrontation between Indonesia and British-backed Malaysia last year speeded the cutback of the Gurkha force. The first batch of 300 Gurkhas, recently returned to Nepal, is undergoing a resettlement course to fit them for civilian jobs. They will be followed by other groups until the Gurkha force is reduced to 10,000 men by 1970. The cutback is part of a contraction of Britain's army of 180,000.

Defense Secretary Denis Healey says it will be down to 165,000 men by 1970. Nepal gets a large chunk of its foreign currency from the export of Gurkha soldiers, and the reduction is being spread to prevent too much harm to the Nepali economy, Gurkhas received $7 million in wages 1965. Much of that found its way back to families in Nepal. In addition pensions totaling about $700,000 are paid by Britain each year. The Gurkhas being disbanded get pensions which don't amount to ch even in Nepal.
