Gurkhas

Retired Gurkha soldiers from Hampshire and Berkshire will meet today to consider whether or not to go on hunger strike in a dispute over pension rights.

A £250,000 fundraising campaign is underway to honour the life of the Lieutenant-General described by the Duke of Wellington as the 'greatest trainer of men'.

A landmark statue is to be unveiled in Hampshire to mark the contribution made by Gurkha soldiers to the British Army over the last 200 years.
