    As an older veteran, this brought back many memories of being part of the 48th Gurkha Infantry Brigade with 24 Field Engineer Regiment Royal Engineers in Hong Kong in the 1950s.

      No gurkhas dont need any more cut backs !!!! But nor does the rest of the British Army ! No excuses! Cut backs leave us short & overstretched in troop numbers, at any time !! it effects morale of other troops ! It's leaves less back up in reinforcement situation , it puts more pressure on exsisting regiments, & there is less troops to rotate to give relief in an war or campaign situation, their is always the unexpected situation that comes up , it's just bureaucratic penny pinching by civil servants & MOD the army was hell of a lot bigger previously, they spend £millions/billions - then cut the next - on something to compensate , millions spent on technology then cuts troops?! technology is good but cant replace everything we want trained troops in boots , US army has technology but is still is a very substantial size .. 💂‍♂️🇬🇧
