Since I was a kid ,troops from the Empire have been mentioned and acknowledged ,Gurkas , et al ,in my memory have always had a slice of thanks from all quarters ,.
The thing is we have been saturated with virtue signalling ,lefty numbskulls who have pushed their agendas so much in recent years ,we are constantly on the look out for it ,,,sometimes it's not there ,,sometime it's just a fair view of what has passed . I don't know how many served or what they did ,but I'm grateful they did ,and it seems wrong to me to begrudge them honourable mentions .
