Impressed by their fighting qualities and with the end of hostilities in sight the Company begins to recruit them into their own ranks. Since then these light hearted and gallant soldiers have successfully campaigned wherever the British Army has served - from the North West Frontier of India through two World Wars to the contemporary battlefields of the Falklands islands and Afghanistan's Helmand Province, with well over one hundred battle honors to their name and at a cost of 20,000 casualties -- |
