Captain (GCO) Tikajit Pun, MBE OBI IDSM 2GR was a news headline name in 1953 when the MV ‘Sangola’ ran aground in the Hooghly River. The ship, which was carrying some 1,500 passengers, was soon in danger of breaking up and sinking. The Gurkhas under Captain Tikajit’s command quickly organised the disembarkation of the passengers without any panic or loss of life. For this admirable action of Captain Tikajit, the Chairman of the British India Steam Navigation Company presented the Brigade of Gurkhas with three silver bugles – The Sangola Bugles.

One of the three Sangola Bugles is proudly placed at the Kathmandu Mess, British Gurkhas Nepal Kathmandu.
