Gurkha's?
Posted: Tue 09 Mar, 2004 10:35 am
Hi all,
I was reading a Para book recently and noticed the comment that "from the early 1990s the Gurkhas were the only British regiment to heavily oversubscribed withn recruits, with 300 men applying for every vacancy"
I was wondering why basically? Obviosuly there a crack regiment but that much more than others?. What numbers of officers apply to join the gurkha's?.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
