A tribute to the class …
向这个班级致敬……

Introducing Sirmoor Kukri, a KHHI tribute inspired by the exquisite vintage 1890s Sirmoor (Nahan) kukri (SEE PHOTO). Nestled in the North-East of India, Sirmoor district, with its capital at Nahan, has a storied past that adds depth to this remarkable blade. The original kukri is said to have belonged to royalty, potentially crafted in England, and only a handful—approximately a dozen—of these exquisite pieces are known to exist today.
介绍 Sirmoor Kukri，一款灵感来源于 19 世纪 90 年代精美的 Sirmoor（Nahan）kukri 的 KHHI 致敬之作（见图）。坐落在印度东北部，Sirmoor 区，首府 Nahan，这里历史悠久，为这把非凡的刀增添了独特的魅力。据称，这把原始的 kukri 属于皇室，可能由英国制造，如今仅存约十来件这样的珍品。
Sirmoor also holds significant historical importance as the birthplace of the famous Sirmoor Battalion, later known as the 2nd Gurkhas Regiment (Rifle), which was formed in 1815. Throughout its illustrious military career, this unit has earned numerous battle honors, including the prestigious Queen’s Truncheon.
西姆鲁尔具有重大历史意义，不仅是著名西姆鲁尔营的诞生地，该营后更名为第二锡尔埃胡贾营（步枪营），成立于 1815 年。该营在辉煌的军事生涯中赢得了众多荣誉，其中包括备受尊敬的女王节杖。

Brief History…  简短的历史…

The 2nd Gurkha Rifles, originally known as the “Sirmoor Battalion,” holds a rich and storied history dating back to its formation in 1815. Raised in the princely state of Sirmoor, it was initially composed of a significant number of Gorkhas who had been prisoners of war during the Anglo-Nepal Wars. Its first commander, Lieutenant Frederick Young, played a crucial role in shaping the unit and remained associated with it for an impressive 28 years.
第 2 廓尔喀步枪团，原名“锡尔莫尔营”，历史悠久，源远流长，始于 1815 年的成立。该团在锡尔莫尔公国成立，最初主要由在英尼战争中沦为战俘的廓尔喀人组成。首任指挥官弗雷德里克·扬上尉对该部队的形成起到了至关重要的作用，并与部队保持了长达 28 年的深厚联系。
Throughout its military history, the 2nd Gurkhas participated in numerous campaigns for the British, earning accolades and battle honors, including distinguished service in both World Wars. However, its defining moment came during the Indian Mutiny of 1857, particularly during the Siege of Delhi. For three months, the regiment valiantly defended Hindu Rao’s House against the mutineers, a critical operation that helped suppress the uprising and demonstrated the regiment’s exceptional courage and discipline. As a mark of this heroic achievement, the unit was promoted and also awarded the Queen’s third color with the “DELHI” insignia, which was later replaced by the iconic Queen’s Truncheon—a unique honor and a lasting symbol of their valor.
在其漫长的军事生涯中，第 2 廓尔喀团多次为英国效力，参与了众多战役，赢得了无数荣誉和勋章，包括两次世界大战中的杰出贡献。但最令人难忘的时刻发生在 1857 年的印度叛乱，尤其是在德里的围城战中。该团在三个月的时间里，英勇地捍卫了印度拉奥宅邸，击退了叛军的进攻。这一关键行动对于平息叛乱起到了重要作用，并展示了该团非凡的勇气和纪律。为了表彰这一英勇事迹，该部队获得了晋升，并授予了带有“德里”字样的女王第三色勋章，后来又换成了象征荣誉的女王权杖——这是对他们勇气的独特认可和永恒的象征。

from 2GR to RGR: the Journey … 
从 2GR 到 RGR：这段旅程……

Over time, the regiment underwent several name changes, eventually becoming the 2nd King Edward’s Own (KEO) Gurkhas Rifles. Following Indian independence in 1947, the regiment transitioned to British control and continued to serve with distinction. Its post-independence engagements included operations in Malaya during the State of Emergency, the Brunei Rebellion, the Borneo Confrontation, and the refugee crisis in Hong Kong.
随着时间的推移，该团经历了多次更名，最终演变为第 2 国王爱德华自己的（KEO）廓尔喀步枪团。1947 年印度独立后，该团转归英国指挥，继续以卓越的战功服役。独立后，该团参与了马来亚紧急状态行动、文莱叛乱、婆罗洲对抗以及香港难民危机等行动。
In 1994, the regiment was amalgamated with other Gurkha regiments to form the Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR), marking a new chapter in its illustrious history. Despite this reorganization, the legacy of the 2nd Gurkhas endures, with the Queen’s Truncheon standing as a proud testament of courage, dedication, and military excellence.
1994 年，该团与其他廓尔喀部队合并，成立了皇家廓尔喀步枪团（RGR），开启了其辉煌历史的新篇章。尽管经历了这次重组，第 2 廓尔喀团的传承依然延续，女王节杖成为勇气、奉献和军事卓越的骄傲象征。
Today, the 2nd Gurkhas remain one of the most celebrated Gurkha units, a symbol of the indomitable spirit and exceptional bravery of the Gurkha soldiers.
今天，第二吉里特部队依然是备受赞誉的吉里特部队之一，它代表着吉里特士兵不屈不挠的精神和卓越的勇气。
