‘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).

HQ QOGLR Visits the QOGLR Team at DST
On Wed, 29 Jul 26, the QOGLR team at the Defence School of Transport was delighted to welcome Lt Col Nick Heppenstall MBE (Commander QOGLR), Maj Vivek Jung Shah MVO MBE (Gurkha Major QOGLR), Capt Harry Longfield (Adjutant) and WO1 Danbahadur Yonjan (RSM).
The visit began at the Gurkha Temple with the sacred Eye-Opening Ceremony of the Buddha Statue, generously donated by Intake 24 and Intake 25. The service was conducted by Khen Rinpoche Chewang Gurung in the presence of Nepalese families and DST representatives.
Capt Ganesh Gurung then delivered a comprehensive update on QOGLR personnel achievements, key activities undertaken over the past 12 months, and future plans and initiatives at DST. This was followed by office calls with Maj Andy Cox, OC 109 Sqn, and Col Laura Craig-Braddock, Commandant DST. The visit concluded with HQ QOGLR updates and a Gurkha Messing, complemented by cultural performances from QOGLR ITTTs, attended by staff, families and guests.
Congratulations to SSgt Nom Tilija Pun and Cpl Nilam Palungwa Limbu on their recent selections. Special congratulations also to Cpl Manoj Limbu and Pte Amit Khatri, who were awarded the Commander’s Coin in recognition of their outstanding performance and dedication.
A proud day celebrating faith, service, achievement and the enduring values of the Brigade of Gurkhas.
Jai QOGLR
Looking Ahead to Welcoming 90 Future QOGLR Soldiers
This year, we look forward to welcoming 90 trainees to the QOGLR family upon the successful completion of their Phase 1 training at ITC.
Full of energy, ambition and determination, they are beginning a journey that will challenge them, develop them and prepare them to wear the QOGLR cap badge with pride. We look forward to welcoming each of them into our Regimental family in the months ahead.
Train hard, stay focused, and we’ll see you soon.
Jai QOGLR!
From 1–21 July, 31 Squadron took part in Exercise CT-B (Ex Fallow Cyclone), working alongside 9 REME and NATO partners to develop and enhance key operational skills.
Training included CBRN decontamination operations, casualty extraction and treatment, vehicle recovery, QRF drills, and realistic field scenarios designed to test readiness and resilience. The exercise also provided valuable opportunities for trade knowledge exchange and interoperability with allied forces.
A highlight of the deployment was a visit to the historic Externsteine, offering troops an insight into Europe’s rich heritage.
Congratulations to LCpl Sandeep Gurung and LCpl Asish Gurung on receiving the 9 REME Commander’s Coin, and Pte Risikesh Oli on receiving the 10 QOGLR Commander’s Coin for their outstanding dedication and hard work throughout the exercise.
Proud to stand alongside.
