The British Army has paid tribute to a 35-year-old soldier who has died while on a training exercise in Yorkshire.
"Pte Thapa was a quiet and conscientious solider and was always the first to volunteer. No matter the scale of the task, he could be relied upon to be there. A selfless individual, Pte Thapa always looked out for others. In his own time, he undertook charity work in an effort to raise awareness and funds for those less fortunate than himself. A humble and understated individual, his cheerful outlook was infectious.
"Pte Thapa became a rock to be relied upon when it came to any sort of tough work and an absolute asset to his chain of command. The regiment has been devastated to have lost a brilliant soldier in such difficult circumstances. His memory will be honoured in the squadron and wider regiment as a kind and caring individual; he will be sadly missed, but incredibly well remembered.”
Private Thapa, who was married, held charity events and donated money to the Gurkha Welfare Trust in his native Nepal. His colleagues recalled him saving a man’s life during a rock fall on the training trip to Spain. The circumstances of Private Thapa’s death and the training exercise are being investigated by the Defence Accident Investigation Branch and Humberside Police.Sign upDid you know with a Digital subscription to Yorkshire Post, you can get access to all of our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more.
