First World War
In August 1914 the First World War began and the regiment's battalions actively participated on the Western Front and in the Middle East.
In 1916, a clerical error gave the regiment a 4th Battalion when 4/3rd, instead of 3/4th, was written on the order for the raising of a battalion for the 4th Gurkha Rifles. The following year a 3rd Battalion for the 3rd Gurkhas was formed.
