I had the honour of meeting Tul Bahadur Pun VC who won the Victoria Cross fighting for Britain in the Gurkha Rifles during the Second World War. He is one of only 10 living recipients of this country's highest award for valour and now along with Joanna Lumley he is fighting for the rights of comrades to live in the UK. 

On Tuesday 30th September,  the high Court ruled that their treatment by the Government had been unlawful in terms of the right to live in the UK if they retired before 1997. Following the High Court decision the Government must change the law on how it treats the Gurkhas. If you would like to join the campaign and add your name to it then please visit the Gurkha Justice website www.gurkhajustice.org.uk and sign up for justice.

Britain has had no greater friends than the Gurkhas. They have served across the world in the defence of our Country for nearly 200 years. Over 45,000 died in the two World Wars as part of the British Army and they are still fighting in the British Army today.
