HMS Ghurka at sea

from North East Museums

  Was the tribe's name not spelled "Gurkha" ?

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  The modern spelling is certainly 'Gurkha'. The destroyer launched in 1907 was HMS Ghurka but interestingly the next warship to take the name (launched in 1937) was spelt Gurkha.
