Last year the Brigade of Gurkhas survived cut backs within the Army, keeping all six of its cap badges intact.

It may have escaped the latest round of redundancies but recruitment is down, and there have been calls from MPs in Nepal to cut ties with the UK altogether.

Gurkha Major Hitman Gurung talks about some of the challenges the Brigade has faced and where he sees it going in the future.
