A few months ago I saw a TV program "Deadliest Warrior" which pitted these little crazy people against the French Foreign Legion and predicted that Gurkhas would prevail.



Anyway they seem to be an important part of the military history of the UK and receive a lot of praise for their tenacity.


"If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha."


"Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had country more faithful friends than you."

What do you know of them ?
