porter. like the British soldiers. Moth.

Ghurka, says General Creagh.
The British press has lavished its
praise almost entirely on the Ghur.

| fighting castes. There are. for In
stance, three regiments of Dogras
who, although of poor physique. are
the coolest under fire OF any of the

that the Ghurkas throw their kukrim

do not throw 1t, but use 1t so skill
