The '''43rd Independent Gurkha Infantry Brigade''', also called the '''43rd Indian Infantry Brigade''' or the '''43rd Gurkha Lorried Infantry Brigade''', was an [[infantry]] [[brigade]] of the [[Indian Army during World War II]]. It was created in 1943, by the renaming of the [[3rd Indian Motor Brigade]] and instead of Indian cavalry [[regiment]]s, it consisted of three [[Standing army|Regular Army]] [[Gurkha]] infantry [[battalion]]s. It was sent to join the [[4th Infantry Division (India)|4th]], [[8th Infantry Division (India)|8th]] and the [[10th Indian Infantry Division]]s, and fought in the [[Italian Campaign (World War II)|Italian Campaign]].<ref>Chappell, p.58</ref><br />

From 25 September 1944, during the fighting on the [[Gothic Line]], under the command of [[Brigadier (United Kingdom)|Brigadier]] [[Alan Barker]], the brigade was temporarily assigned to the [[56th (London) Infantry Division|British 56th Infantry Division]], replacing the [[168th (2nd London) Brigade|British 168th Infantry Brigade]] which was being disbanded.
