Supporters want the statue to be built on the cliffs above Folkestone, Kent, where the 2nd Battalion the Royal Gurkha Rifles are based.
The cost of the monument, probably a statue of a Gurkha in full battle dress, is estimated at £50,000 and individuals and oraginsations across the UK are being asked to contributed towards the fund. Donations can be made on the Folkestone Gurkha Memorial Fund website.
