Following Indian independence in 1947, the British and Indian armies agreed to divide the Gurkha regiments between the two
armies. British, Indian, and Nepalese delegations met in Nepal from July 1947 to January 1948 in order to discuss the terms
of service of the Gurkha soldier as well as specific rights granted to them in relation to religion, rates of pay, performance
and conduct, and leave from duty. This photograph album, containing 90 photographs, documents the three delegations' tour
through Nepal. The images, probably created by a British delegate of the Mission, are labeled and the album includes photographs
of people, landscapes, and historical and religious sites.
