Ghurka soldier and British Ghurka officer

Vitez, Bosnia

There were a handful of Ghurkas in Bosnia, all of them signalmen. The British officer, whose name I am embarrassed to say I do not recall, was attached to a Ghurka regiment. Note the patch on his sleeve. You could hear a lot of different languages spoken in Bosnia, and these two were speaking one of them.

The officer is Capt Peter Bullock, 7GR. Worked with PInfo.
I seem to recall he suffered a fair few flesh wounds from a claymore type of weapon (ball bearings with explosive behind).
