During the 'Confrontation' with Indonesia, the only Victoria Cross to be awarded to any British Army or Commonwealth service personnel was the decoration earned for the supreme gallantry displayed by Lance Corporal Rambahadur Limbu of 2nd Battalion 10th Gurkha Rifles. This was the only V.C. awarded to a member of the 10th Gurkha Rifles.
