Lines: 14 Approved: military@amd.com From: wcsswag@ccs.carleton.ca (Alex Klaus) While I was at home last weekend, I browsed through a copy "Der Spiegel". In it they had an intersting little sidebar. They mentioned that in line with the British Army's reducion from 160,000 to 116,000 troops, the Gurkha battalions are being rundown. All of them except for the ones designated for Hong Kong defence will be disbanded. This is a week old issues. Can anybody else confirm this? Ale Klaus <>
