My grandfather(mothers side) was in the 16th lancers and served continuously in France and Flanders,one of the last British cavalrymen to fight on horseback and to show its innefectiveness in modern warfare.
My father was in the 3rd gurkha rifles.Although he never saw action himself and met my mother as a civilian later in life(no mean feat for a Nepali native to successfuly emigrate to U.K.) I dont need to mention this regiments exploits as there is too much for me to write.
I,m lucky I got my height (6ft 2in)from my grandfather.(sorry dad only joking).
I am a keen mountaineer and horserider.Thats genetics for you.
