Chairman of Gurkha Everest Expedition 2017 Brigadier Ian Rigden writes
Written by The Gorkha::
It is with great humility and pride that we can confirm that 12 members of the expedition have now summitted Mt. Everest: 3 Gurkhas yesterday and 3 British officers (including the Team Leader Maj Dick Gale), one British SNCO and 6 Gurkhas today.
Put simmply, this is electrifying news. The aim of the expedition was to place a serving Gurkha on the summit of Mt. Everest for the first time. That the team has achieved this by placing 9 Gurkhas and 4 British team members on the summit is a magnificient achievement. They have made history. Their success is due to hard work, self belief, true teamwork and outstanding team leadership. I specially highlight Major Dick Gale and Major Andrew Todd, without whom this would not have been possible.
As we think of their success, we must remember that they are now in the process of extracting from the mountain. I ask you to keep them in your thoughts and prayers until they are safely home.
Jai Hos, Jai Gurkhali, Tapain haru kohi Chainna!!
