SOLJER SOLJER is a story based on an imaginary infantry battalion of the Third Gorkha Rifles - the sixth battalion. The composition, training, camaraderie, duties in all the other infantry battalions of our Army is almost the same except that certain customs undergo a change as they adopt to the ethnicity of the troops in that Regiment. So the visible changes would be the manner of the battle cry, salutation, greeting, decorum in festivity with the troops, or ceremonials in the Officer's mess.
