🙏 A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO DARTFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL 🙏

Heartfelt Appreciation for Your Continued Support and Generous £5,000 Contribution

On behalf of the British Gurkha Nepalese Community Dartford and the Havildar Gaje Ghale VC Memorial Project Team, we are delighted to express our deepest gratitude to Dartford Borough Council for its generous £5,000 contribution towards the construction of the Havildar Gaje Ghale VC Statue in Central Park, Dartford.

While we proudly recognise Dartford Borough Council as our 17th £500+ Donor, this acknowledgement holds a particularly special meaning for our community.

Dartford Borough Council has been supporting, encouraging and guiding this historic project from the very beginning. Its continued cooperation, commitment and belief in our vision have been invaluable in helping us move closer to making this memorial a reality.

Our appreciation extends far beyond the generous financial contribution. The Council's willingness to work alongside our community, provide guidance and support our aspirations has given us tremendous encouragement and confidence throughout this journey.

🙏 A SPECIAL WORD OF THANKS 🙏

We would like to extend our special and heartfelt gratitude to:

Councillor Jeremy A. Kite MBE, Leader of Dartford Borough Council, and Councillor Peter Whapshott, Former Mayor of Dartford and Armed Forces Champion, together with all the respected councillors, officers and dignitaries of Dartford Borough Council, for their invaluable guidance, encouragement and continued support from the very beginning of this historic project.

Your leadership, kindness and commitment to recognising the Gurkha community and its proud military heritage mean a great deal to us.

The proposed memorial will stand not only as a tribute to the extraordinary courage, sacrifice and service of Havildar Gaje Ghale VC, but also as a lasting symbol of friendship, mutual respect and the historic bond between the British and Nepalese communities.

It will help preserve the remarkable story of Havildar Gaje Ghale VC and honour the extraordinary bravery of all 13 Gurkha Victoria Cross recipients, ensuring that future generations can learn about their courage, sacrifice and service to Britain.

We are truly grateful to Dartford Borough Council for standing alongside our community and playing such an important role in helping bring this vision closer to reality.

🇳🇵🇬🇧 Together, we are not simply building a statue — we are building a lasting legacy of courage, sacrifice, friendship and remembrance.
