Young Gurkhas get to grips with life on the water as they test key boating skills
The newest members of the Queen's Gurkha Engineers have been learning key boating skills as part of their course to become fully fledged British Army sappers.
They had already learned to blow things up and build bridges, and have now been learning to master their watermanship.
The young sappers must not only learn how to control and steer the craft, but also engage with a range of different marine scenarios.
- New Gurkha engineers perfect the art of building bridges
- Gurkha Museum to add Nepali voice to exhibits during closure for modernisation and update
- Gurkha recruits get welcome like no other as they arrive in UK and head to Catterick
The video above shows how they got on.
