Well, I suppose you could say that every regular soldier is a "paid mercenary", couldn't you? Nepal wasn't part of the Empire, it's true, but the Gurkha Regiment was part of the British Army and thank God they were. We owe them a lot.

In the same vein, I don't remember Bulgaria and Romania being part of the Empire either, or fighting alongside us in WW2 (they were on the "other side") but, thanks to us abandoning the Commonwealth to join the dictatorship of Europe (links that bind?), they can come here quite freely and avail themselves of all we have to offer.
