Support the Gurkhas!

Last updated : 18 September 2008 By Paulb1912


These men are The Gurkhas, some of you may know them, if not this is a little about them...

For 200 odd years they have helped fight along side our armed forces in the First and Second World Wars, the Falklands, Hong Kong, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. They are as brave as any soldier and as feared as the Paras and the SAS, their Motto is "Better to die than be a coward". In their time with the British thousands have died and the regiment has won 13 Victoria Crosses.

All they are asking is to come and live in this country which they have served loyally and without hesitation.

So please go to this website and register and lend your support, maybe just maybe the British Goverment may act - http://www.gurkhas.com/Register.aspx
