I must say that I am appalled that the Gurkha Museum in Winchester has not come forward in anything I have read.
The Telegraph yesterday asserted that WO Pun's VC was "taken from him under controversial circumstances" and that it belongs to him and no-one else. What rights do they have to it? Do they have a Bill of Sale or a written agreement from WO Pun?
The point is that it is worth anything over £500,000, and I suspect that Lord Ashcroft would be more than happy to purchase it to go with the 150 VC's he now has in his collection. That is a huge amount of money and WO Pun could live very comfortably here with cash in the bank.
I did write to the curator of the museum, as did many others, but I have not had a reply.
Perhaps WO Pun's solicitors might care to inspect the legality of the museum's hold on his VC.
Now! I wonder how quickly WO Pun will be here?
I imagine airlines or the RAF would be only too happy to arrange it so I hope the HO will act VERY soon.
