Subdeacon Joe Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 REMEMBRANCE, GURKHAS In Remembrance Week, another wonderful statue from Amy Goodman, who says: "This piece depicts the first Gurkha recipient of the Victoria Cross, Kulbir Thapa Magar, rescuing his comrade, a British Tommy from the Leicestershire regiment on the 25th September 1915. He also rescued two of his other Gurkha comrades on the same day whilst also carrying his own injury. It's a sculpture that was a challenge and hopefully I've done it justice." It was unveiled exactly 106 years after the deed on 25th September last year in Princes Gardens, Aldershot. Pic from @WilfSteve Twitter account and also @AmySculptor Twitter account.
