Formerly a soldier from Nepal in the British Army (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gurkha

(Other definitions for gurkha that I've seen before include "Nepalese member of British army" , "military type?" , "British soldier recruited overseas" , "I may be recruited" , "Nepalese fighter?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
