Really good article.
Some Gurkhas were attached to the Parachute Rgt but I'm not sure of the date.
I'm not sure how many would opt for the SLR as they usually carried the M16 pre-SA80.
Interesting bit of trivia Gurkhas only get one shot at each promotion - if they fail they will never get that rank.
Nice way to include Gurkha characters in BAOR.
