The first three regiments of Gurkhas date from 1815 but the 4th was raised in July 1857 at Pithoragarh. They were to hold the Kumaon Hills during the Mutiny. They were first numbered the 19th when taken into the Bengal line and under the authority of the British Crown, but a few months later became the 4th Gurkha Rifles.
