337 New Trainee Gurkhas received a warm welcome from the Brigade of Gurkhas Training staff at the Infantry Training Centre in Catterick, UK. They will now commence their 39-week training programme. This will cover all the requirements of becoming a trained Rifleman, cultural and education lessons as the instructors prepare these young people for a long career in the British Army.
