Ghurka books

May I suggest "Echoes of War: A Child at Arms" by Patrick Davis?

This is a first person account of a British officer assigned to a Gurkha

battalion in Burma, in WWII.  This is not a 'hard-core history' but more
of 
a pleasant, easy read.

As a matter of fact I buy all of the "Echoes of War" series on sight and
I 
have yet to be disappointed.  Some are "fiction" but all are written by 
folks that have been there with a true eye toward what it was like.  My 
favorite book of all time is in this series: "Winged Victory" by V.M. 
Yeates, a very, very haunting story of WWI fighter pilots.  I can not 
recommend this book too much.

Cheers,
