On approval from His Majesty The King, we can proudly reveal The King’s Gurkha Artillery cap badge 🎉
The badge, the first created for a Gurkha regiment in 14 years, reflects a pairing of two of the Army’s most recognised symbols – the crossed khukuri of the Gurkhas and the field gun of The Royal Artillery.
