Correction to your description of the Gurkhas in SPF.
ReplyDeleteThey are not ex-British retired personnel, but are jointly-selected from Nepal, together with the British every year. The selected personnel are split between the UK and Singapore.
Those sent to Singapore receive local training, specific to Singapore's requirement.
Corrected. Thank you.
