Hello, I am trying to recreate the flag of the 48th Gurkha Infantry Brigade, but first thing is that did the brigade even have a flag and if so what did it look like, if not which flag did the Gurkhas of Hong Kong use, I have asked a few veterans and got varying answers so I am hoping a more knowledgeable person on the topic could help🙏
The book places the story of HMS Tamar into the larger pictures of the expansion and decline of the British Empire and, in the post-war period, of the after effects of that empire, especially in the post-colonial era. It also places the Tamar in the context of a unique and little studied, 50-year experiment in which the Royal Navy designed and operated troopships as commissioned warships, and developed early systems of amphibious warfare that were not subsequently built upon.
Interesting account here of two years spent doing national service in the Royal Artillery, mostly in Hong Kong. Some good photos appear at the end of each chapter.
