I couldn't write much yesterday, had a match to play in, but yes jno, that news did make me very happy.
I have a Gurkha friend who works at the Union Jack Club at Waterloo, he was in Aden at the same time as me, although we'd never met at that time, and in the Far East, I won't relate the story, but two of them, from 10th. actually offered to kill someone for me, I declined the offer.
As for being a burden on the NHS, the NHS should be proud to attend them, and as for the cost, I said on a previous post. get rid of the Illegal and Terrorists, then the money saved, could be spent on the Gurkhas, hopefully, without anyone complaining.
