Lt Tulbahadur Pun 89 years old Ex Gurkha from WW11 now living in poverty
in
Nepal has been refused by the army museum to borrow HIS VC TO WEAR ONE
LAST
TIME before he dies (bear in mind his age) i think that the
Government/MOD
should step in and make this possible for him, it would appear that our
government look after criminals,rapists,work dodgers and other low life
better than they look after people like Tulbahadur who have risked their
life for england

the museum is situated in winchester

I'm intrigued that you saw fit to post this in a gardening NG and not for
instance in uk.people.ex-forces. But having said that, I think you have a
valid point, treatment of Ghurkhas is generally abysmal given the sacrifices
many have made.
