Re: Gurkha war hero's agony

Actually I have since read that he did not actually "donate" his medal but rather he sold it to his regiment which raised funds to purchase it. The regiment then donated it. That makes it no longer his property. He still owns a replica. Of course this is Internet gossip and I do not have a reliable source for this.
