Introducing Rifleman Rana Bahadur Limbu, a 96 year-old Gurkha veteran who valiantly served in the Parachute Regiment at the end of World War Two.
At just 16 years-old, Rifleman Rana Bahadur Tamang was recruited to be a Gurkha from his home in Darbang, west Nepal. He went on to train for two years, learning how to shoot, how to fight and how to survive in the jungle.
