Gurkha Rambahamdur Limbu, VC, and his son, in UK
Jul. 07, 1966 - Bakhta Meets the Queen: The shy, silent little boy who was captivated the country, holds the medal his father risked death to earn. If anything, though Lance Corporal Rambahadur Limbu looks more proud of his five year old son Bakhta that of the Victoria Cross he won last November. But Bahkta is overcome. He has flown 7, 508 miles from his village home in Nepal, he has seen his father presented with his medal at Buckingham Palace and he spoke to the Queen. It was the Queen who asked to meet Bahkta during the investiture, she pointed to the small boy with his eyes riveted on them and said to Lance Corporal Limbu, I see you have brought your son later she chatted with both of them. The new VC who saved two wounded comrades while under heavy fire in Sarawak, said of his son I hope one day he will join the regiment
