US Gurkha Rangers

Now I already know about the Kachin Rangers and the Jingpaw Rangers in the CBI. But heres a new one I wasn't aware of. On page #50 of "The War in the Pacific,From Pearl Harbor to Okinawa 1941-1945" by Jonathan Gawne there is a photo of a Gurkha standing next to a sign saying US Gurkha Rangers OSS. He wears a US issue shirt and pants with British puttees and boots. The photo is dated 1/45 Burma. Does anyone have any other information as to them and thier deployment by the OSS?

 

Intresting one JC, will have to look into it you have as per normal got me intrigued.

 

Thanks . I would appreciate it. And glad to have at least intrigued someone LOL.

 

Ive looked around quite a bit and so far can't find anything else .

 

JC,I assumed you had already checked the web so ive been racking my brains exactly which books to try and find info in given the combination of the Gurkhas and the Oss. So far as you no joy,but i was going to contact the Gurkha museum ref my Dad i could kill two birds with one stone

 

Hey JC, your slipping looks like along with kachins and karen tribes there were Gurkas serving with detachment 101 OSS see this link www.realmilitaryflix.com/public/department
