* ''The Gurkhas'' [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.126645 Archive.org version], mirror from Digital Library of India. A regimental history. This appears to be a reprint edition, for which no author is given, and which advises first published 1960. However the final chapter refers to events in 1964. The most likely publication appears to be ''The Gurkhas'' by Harold James and Denis Sheil-Small published 1965, London.

Searchable but not viewable Google Books. The second part of the book, 'Off the Record', reproduces pages from Portland's sketchbook of that name in which he depicted various incidents in the life of his Regiment from the declaration of war in 1939 until just before its departure from the Middle East for Italy in 1943.
