I echo your sentiments Double Zero, there are several threads on this forum on the topics of Ghurka Pun VC and L Cpl Rai but the posts seem to be from many of the same people, perhaps the threads should be merged.

One thing that is gratifying is that regardless of colour of uniform (or former uniform) we are all "of one company and of one accord".

In addition to the publicity generated by PPrune, ARRSE and Rum ratioN, Kieran O'Rourke and the team at Howe & Co, Rod Liddle and Sir Richard Branson have done, and continue to do, outstanding work in the case of Ghurka Pun VC.

Greatest respect to all involved.

But it looks like these two cases are just the tip of the iceberg, so the pressure needs to continue until HMG in general and the FCO in particular recognise the debt of gratitude that this country owes to ALL the men from Nepal and their families and face up to their "duty of care" (Yeah right!!).

Mods, perhaps one thread dedicated to the Ghurka cause?
