The Gurkha Soldiers tribute |
| "As I write these words, my thoughts return to you who were my comrades, Once more i hear the laughter with which you greeted every hardship. Once more I see you in your bivouacs or about your camp fires, on forced marches or in the trenches, now shivering with wet and cold, now scorched by a pitiless and burning sun. Uncomplaining you endure hunger and thirst and wounds; and at last your unwavering lines disappear into the smoke and wrath of battle. Bravest of the brave, most generous of the generous, never had a country more faithful friends than you". |
| Sir Ralph Turner MC, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Queen Alexandra's Own Gurkha Rifles 1931 |
