Gurkhas by Digital Leader Ifechi in Maple Tree

In Year 5 we have been learning about the Gurkha soldiers and their lifestyle. We have been looking at how they worked in the British Army and how they had to do the exact same jobs. I found it interesting how some Gurkhas sacrificed their lives for Britain. Some of the best soldiers won awards like the Victoria Cross. One soldier was extremely brave and tried to throw bombs back at the army. He was one of my top favourites. Some were so significant they had a memorial statue with poppies surrounding it.
