The regiment traces its origins to the 18th century and has fought in every major campaign of the British Indian Army and the Indian Army, including the two world wars. Kumaon gets its recruits from Kumaonis of Kumaon division and Ahirs from the plains.Many soldiers lost their lives while serving the country. Wives  of Veterans are known as "Veer Nari".on March 1st, 2017 In New Tehri Stadium, first time ever Indian Army setup welfare for Veterans and their families. It was free camp for Everyone. Central Command was first established in 1942 during World War II and then disbanded in 1946. Southern Command was responsible for most of the training activities for Indian Army until Central Command was formed in April 1942 which took over the responsibility of some of the training areas.Best thing in that event i found is "Central Command Army Band" This band has beautiful bagpiper players including drum player, Their skills are amazing. I love the way they play it together and make beautiful cheerful sound. You can enjoy the sound in video. It was a beautiful Day with best Veterans of our Tehri Garhwal and Kumaun Garhwal.I hope you will like the video and share it with Love.Please provide feedback after watching the video.  #GarhwalRifles #KumaonRegiment #VeerNari #Veterans #Welfare #CCAB #AshishChamoli #ACV
