2 Royal Gurkha Rifles, based in Brunei, have been supporting cadets on their summer camp. The wet wilderness of the Bruneian jungle is a far cry from the luxurious surroundings of Yorkshire’s Ampleforth College yet the school’s cadets have taken to it like ducks to water.
Former Second-In-Command with Royal Gurkha Rifles (RGR) Major Miles Blackford is now Contingent Commander at Ampleforth College Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and it is through his association with the Gurkhas that the regular Summer Camp occurs.
