When we learnt of the untimely demise of Neil Griffiths who had been a great long-term Gurkha friend, we were hoping that a member of our wider Gurkha community would spare some time to write a few lines in tribute to the great man. This came from Mr. John Patchett (ex 10 GR) who had known Neil for a very long time. We are extremely grateful to John for sharing this tribute with the wider Gurkha community as it perhaps describes the best possible way Neil would have us remember him. Rest in Peace great friend of ours. Our heartfelt condolences to Neil's family.

The Gurkha Nepalese community in UK often welcomes ex and serving British officers, well-wishers and friends to our general gatherings, including during special festivities. Yet, rarely do we learn about their thoughts and feelings about attending once the events are over. This is thus a fresh and very welcome account of one such long-term British friend/ex-colleague of Gurkha, who recently accepted an invitation to a Gurkha pre-festival gathering in Nottingham. Thank you John, for sharing this with the wider Gurkha community!
