The creation of a Memorial to the 6th Queen Elizabeth’s Own Gurkha Rifles, which ceased to exist in 1994 on its absorption into the Royal Gurkha Rifles after 177 years service to the Crown, is probably the most important and significant event in that Regiment’s recent history. The production of a book to record the steps leading to that creation needed to be such as reflected that historical event, and worthy of retention in the regimental archives; furthermore, the Regiment had close links with our late Queen, and in the light of that connection, a copy of the book would be presented to HM The King. From the very first meeting with Dan Bernard, it was clear that he and his team understood the importance of getting the production of the bookl absolutely right; their enthusiasm for the project was immediately evident. Their approach to the process of producing the book was thoroughly professional: Gail’s initial editing and formatting together with Liz’s proof reading have resulted in what can only be described as a first class finished product. Additionally, I must record my appreciation of Dan’s contribution to the production - he was, throughout the process, patently and genuinely interested in the project and totally involved in all aspects of the production; that interest extended to his choice of printers and binders, the choice of materials and complete oversight of the whole project, which was completed on time and within budget. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tricorn Books to anyone seeking to publish a quality book. Chairman, 6th QEO Gurkha Rifles Memorial Project Committee.
