[BITList] Hero Gurkha handed bravery medal

[COLIN TAYLOR]

I believe Gurkhas have been awarded more victoria crosses than any other regiment/group in the british army.
I get the Gurkha news letter every few months and regularly contribute to the Gurkha welfare trust.
their bravery is legendary. all ranks hold them in the highest esteem.
in this case is this discrimination – who knows? but unlikely.

What more does a Gurkha have to do do in order to be awarded a Victoria Cross for his actions in the face of the enemy?

This is a clear case of discrimination against a Gurkha serving in the British army.
