Gurkhas learn the Bagpipes

On the last course we had three Gurkhas attending from The Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR) and they are now ready to take up their place in their units as pipers and also support The Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas at various high profile events around the world.

It is no easy task to learn to play the bagpipes and theses young Gurkhas have done extremely well. The Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming Class 3 and Class 2 Pass off parade took place at Redford Cavalry Barrack on 11th March 2020.
