8th Gurkhas


Other Ranks, 1896


The naik in the middle is in full dress, showing the different tunic worn from the earlier style (see Gurkha Officer 1880 ). He has a silver 44 badge on his Kilmarnock cap. The men either side of him are in service dress. The havildar on the left is short even by Gurkha standards.
