Ever wondered what the British Armed Forces listen to while stationed around the globe? Well, they've got their own radio network called BFBS, which has been around since 1943. Imagine, it was set up to keep our troops entertained and informed, and it's been going strong ever since! They offer a whopping 24 different radio stations, covering everything from news and music to community services.
But there's one special station that stands out, and it's all about our brave Gurkha soldiers. The BFBS Gurkha Network, with its catchy slogan "Entertain, Inform, Connect, Champion," is a lifeline for Gurkhas stationed far from home. They get to hear music from their homeland, news in Hindi, and even connect with each other through the radio waves.
So, next time you're thinking about the troops stationed overseas, remember that BFBS Gurkha Radio is there to keep them entertained and connected to their culture, even when they're miles away. It's a little bit of home for our brave Gurkhas, and a reminder of the important role they play in keeping our country safe.
