Hi, my father served as a gunner in the British Army in the Cameron Highlands during the 1950 skirmish.

We are visiting the Cameron Highlands in Jan 2010 and I wondered if there were commemorations in place anywhere to recognise this effort ?

Also, I wondered if there were any Gurkha's local in / around the Camerons who would consider meeting with my father, while he is there, as a surprise, so as to create a photo opportunity and increase his enjoyment of the visit.

Help and comments, much appreciated.

Dear Sir,

To get more information about where Gurkha squadrons can be found, please visit Brigade of Gurkhas website via MOD : http://www.army.mod.uk/gurkhas/units.aspx

If your dear father cannot meet Gurkhas at the Cameron, Highlands do by all means get in touch with BGWS at Farnborough Hampshire where ex-Gurkha soldiers have a dedicated organisation with constant flow of veterans on most days. Hopefully he will be able to meet a few when he can go there.

Our best wishes to your father!
