Major James Hornby, Captain Deepak Gurung, and Lieutenant Alexandre Jacob, all officers of The Royal Gurkha Rifles currently stationed at Gurkha Company Catterick, paid a visit to Colonel (Retd) J P Cross OBE at his residence in Pokhara this week.

Colonel Cross graciously received the three officers along with Mr. Mick Latter, Head of Communications at HQ Brigade of Gurkhas. During their meeting, he discussed the briefing he plans to deliver to the newly selected Gurkha Trainees at the Pokhara camp prior to the Attestation parade.

He also shared insights from his remarkable military career and his endeavors following retirement. His willingness to engage in conversation about his life and experiences offers a glimpse into a world that contemporary soldiers can only aspire to understand.
