Gurkha Widow Story - Nepal
By Thulung at 21 November, 2009, 11:46 pm
The old Gurkha widow (still not know about her Gurkha husband status) Mrs. Limbu was the chief guest on the day Lumley visited Dharan. Her husband Mr. Limbu had joined the British Gurkhas before WW2. Soon after their marriage the husband was called in to fight the WW2 for the British crown along with the fellow Gurkha soldiers. No one knows if he is dead or alive? Even till this day she is waiting for her husband. Does the British Government know about her husband’s status? Does the British Government provide her with pension and widow or family benefits?
