The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II - Gurkha troops arrive at Southampton
The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II - Gurkha troops arrive at Southampton, on the liner Empire Orwell, to take part in the Coronation procession. There were 150 troops and their pipe band of 60 players. They brought with them their proud possession, a bronze and silver truncheon presented to them by Queen Victoria in recognition of their bravery during the siege of Dehli in 1857.
Pictured are Pipe Major Padambahadar and Tul Bahadur Pun VC with his Kukri knife.
