The British Gurkha Army Ex-Servicemen’s Organization (BGAESO) is a prominent association established to represent and support former Gurkha soldiers who served in the British Army. The Gurkhas, renowned for their courage and loyalty, have been an integral part of the British military for over two centuries. However, after their service, many Gurkha veterans faced challenges related to pensions, healthcare, and other welfare issues, particularly in comparison to their British counterparts.
