Prized fighters - Folkestone

Preface

From Afghanistan to Angola, if you want the best person to protect your troops or your game reserve, you get a Gurkha. For many of the 10,000 Nepalese fighters who have retired in the UK, the world of private security is paying their wages, which is particularly welcome to those unable to claim a full pension despite years of loyal military service.
