Hi,
I am a 74 year old senior citizen from Liverpool. UK.
In 2003 I played my bagpipe in IRAQ as a tribute to those from many faiths and nations who fell in past conflicts. Among the 45,000 names on the memorials was a 16 year old lad from GARIGAON. He must have been only 15 years of age when he was taken from his village to die in that far off land. I made a promise that I would travel alone to Nepal to find his village and play a lone piper%26#39;s lament as my way of saying %26#39;sorry%26#39; that a lad of such tender years was sent to Iraq. I have traveled twice to Nepal (2004 %26amp; 2007) but the %26#39;dignitories%26#39; I met gave me no help to find the village. I hope to return to my search in November 2009. I have a feeling the home of Rifleman (Gurkha) RIT BAHADUR RAI could be in the DHANKUTA or ILAM areas. Can anyone help. I have no connection with ANY organisation be it poliyical, ex military or religious.
