1982 Falkland Conflict
Gurkhas were ready for the assault on Mount William but the Argentine forces withdrew and then surrendered before the attack took place. Very sensible.
The Argentine soldiers on Mount William ran like rabbits when they knew the Gurkhas were coming. Many of the Argentinians broke and ran like frightened school children forcing the Gurkhas to modify their battle cry from

"Ayo Gorkhali" - meaning "the Gurkhas are here"

to

“Where the hell did they go?”

Many Argentine myths exist about them to this day. There were no Gurkhas killed in the Falklands war.

Currently non-UK Service Personnel (Commonwealth citizens, Gurkhas, Nepalese citizens who have transferred out of the Brigade of Gurkhas to serve in the wider Armed Forces, British Overseas Citizens, British Overseas Territory Citizens and British National (Overseas) citizens), must pay a settlement fee of £2,389 (FY21/22) when they apply to remain (settle) in the UK following their discharge from the UK Armed Forces. Last year the Defence Secretary and the Home Secretary jointly launched a public consultation seeking views on a policy proposal to remove the charge for the settlement fee.
