‘Hami jasto kohi chaina’
‘There is no one quite like us‘.
From our very first Intake of Gurkha soldiers at our Regiment’s formation in 1958 to the present day, The Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment proudly serves in the very highest traditions of the British Army and the Brigade of Gurkhas.
Welcome to The Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment Association: your Regimental Family’s connection between those who serve today, our veterans and their families, and where the good and benefit of our capbadge is both our honour and our responsibility.
Jai GASC ! Jai GTR ! Jai QOGTR ! Jai QOGLR!
The Role and Purpose of the Association.
The Association was founded in 1962 as ‘The Gurkha Army Service Corps Association‘, changing with Regimental re-titling throughout the years, and known today as ‘The Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment Association‘.
The primary aim of the Association remains true to that for which it was conceived: to keep those who have served with The Queen’s Own Gurkha Logistic Regiment in touch with those still serving, Gurkha and British officers and soldiers, and for its membership to play their full part in the activities of the Gurkha Brigade Association. Becoming a registered charity in 1996, the responsibilities of the Association have grown to deepening esprit de corps, comradeship, the welfare of the Regiment and the preservation of its traditions: our ‘Kaida’. Further, alongside support to education and charitable works, the Association has a deep commitment to the Gurkha Welfare Trust for the relief of serving and former-serving Regimental members, and their dependents, who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress. The Association works hand in glove with fellow Regimental organisations including the QOGLR Regimental Association Nepal (RAN), the Ex-QOGLR Serviceman’s Association (UK) and the Hong Kong Ex-Serviceman’s Assocation (HKESA).

Jai QOGLR!
From 18 to 22 May 26, 31 Sqn conducted ITR Week, aimed at preparing personnel for upcoming exercises and enhancing overall operational capability. The week-long programme featured a series of rigorous training sessions designed to sharpen skills, improve coordination, and ensure the sqn remains mission-ready.
The success of ITR Week was made possible by the dedication and expertise of the sqn’s instructors, who invested significant time and effort in delivering high-quality training. Their commitment ensured that all participants gained valuable experience and confidence ahead of forthcoming operational commitments.
As the sqn looks ahead to upcoming exercises, the skills and knowledge reinforced during ITR Week will play a crucial role in enabling personnel to meet future challenges with professionalism and efficiency.
Proud to stand alongside.
