  • Gurkha Company Catterick have unveiled a monument to commemorate fallen Gurkhas in recent conflicts.
    The names of soldiers killed in operations in Kosovo and Afghanistan from 1999 are amongst those recorded on the new memorial.
    It took Gurkhas from Gurkha Company Catterick two weeks to build this monument, which will now stand as a reminder of their comrades and the sacrifices they made.

    I was in Morrisons, Beverley East Yorkshire yesterday. I was walking back to my car and there were three very smart young men in uniform in front of me. I asked them if there were gurkhas and they said yes. I told them that I was very proud to meet them. Such brave and loyal soldiers. My dad fought with them in the war, he said they were fearless. If anyone should be allowed to stay in the UK they should. We should give them British citizenship automatically.

    It's an extremely important relationship between the UK and Nepal, and it should/will continue to be so for the rest of time.
    To all Gurkhas, on behalf of myself and a mostly Grateful Nation, Thank you all for your service to this amazing country and the world , Thank you.

      I agree, more could've been done considering the historic connection between our two Nations/Countries, something with a monument within a memorial garden, to show the never ending legacy of the Gurkhas within British history and the history of warfare fighting as brothers alongside their British colleagues as one.
