ORIGIN AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE KUKRI

Hello Simon, Rick,

perhaps I can help a bit?

Here is the complete display & the label that went with it.

My guess is the other torn label stuck on the picture would tell the full story.

Perhaps the Captain is the last man standing?

his kukri in the case is badly chipped in several places.

I think the men in blue are Nepali soldiers {Gurkhas?} & the loincloth fellows are Indian. but thats just an educated guess, based on clothing.
