Justice for the Gurkhas
One hundred thousand Gurkhas fought in the First World War. They served in the battlefields of France in the Loos, Givenchy, Neuve Chapelle and Ypres; in Mesopotamia, Persia, Suez Canal and Palestine against Turkish advance, Gallipoli and Salonika. One detachment served with Lawrence of Arabia. 250,000 Nepalese Gurkhas served in the Second World War.

The good news is... The Gurkha Justice Campaign was won today.
The sacrifice these people gave for Britain has finally been rewarded and they've earned the right (long overdue) to live in the country that they so bravely fought for.
