    He looks so smart in his uniform. We love our Gurkhas in the U.K., such kind humble men but have hearts of leopards. Brave and full of guile. Thank you for your service to all Gurkhas retired and still in service.

      His smart turn-out, his pride and achievement, and the standards and commitment of his regiment contain lessons for us. They should not be assumed or taken for granted.

      @@artgreen6915 they aren’t, trust me. Our people love them. They are treated as citizens when in civvy clothes shopping or something and are given the opportunity to live here and bring their family here with them or go back to Nepal at the end of their service. They earn the same pay as any other soldier and a full state military pension which makes them rich in Nepal. Many choose to return because money goes much further in Nepal. There is huge competition to get into the British Gurkhas in Nepal in our garrison base and it is the Royal British Gurkha Regiment these boys dream of joining, it is their first choice. They are always welcome here.

      It’s not a DSO it’s an MVO for personal service to the monarch.

      Its an MVO not a DSO . A DSO cross would be more of Canterbury Cross with the crown in the middle while an MVO is a Maltese cross with a crown on the top portion of the cross with Queen Victoria's royal Cypher at the center.
