Hat Terrai Gurkha
The Hat Terrai Gurkha is the name of the headgear worn by officers of the Gurkha Contingent in Singapore. A distinctive part of the Gurkha not worn by any other member of the Singapore Police Force, it is named after the Terai region in Nepal, a location linked to the events surrounding the Gurkha War which first introduced the fighting spirit of the Gurkhas to the invading British forces and which subsequently led to their deployment in the British Army.
