Between 1814-1816, the British and the Gurkhas fought a vicious bloody war - the Anglo Nepalese War.
It was the only time they ever fought each other.
The bravery shown by both sides built a mutual respect and a 200 year tradition of Gurkhas serving in the British Army began.
It continues to this day.
