    Re: ghurka pensions

    All that research I did, surfing the net when I should have been working...gone!

    Outcome was, sometime last week the gov and MOD agreed that Ghurka's who have served 22 years will get the same pension as the rest of the army.
    These was a BBC news link someone else posted if I remember correctly.
