A Gurkha soldier who single-handedly fought off an attack on his base by up to 12 Taliban insurgents has been awarded Britain
32 years old sergeant Dip Prasad pun of myagdi district of Nepal has been awarded by Gallantry Cross. Heroic Sergeant Pun was left guarding a key military position near Nahr-e Saraj in the war-torn province of Helmand in Afghanistan
The Sergeant pun quickly manned a 7.62mm mounted machine gun positioned on the roof of a nearby building in a bid to fend off his attackers.
But he soon discovered he could not lower the gun enough to take aim at the group of Taliban fighters.
So he removed the heavy 30lb weapon from its tripod and held it himself.
He fought the group of attackers for 15 minutes by firing up to 750 rounds a minute with the large machine gun, before reinforcements arrived. Sgt Pun is believed to have killed three and wounded several others in his courageous stand.

Anonymous please don't be jealous ,be proud of what Dipprasad Pun has done, no matter where he has once again proved the true meaning of a Gurkha (fearless, brave, loyal, hardworking, loved and trusted by the world )do you think you could have done that if you were to find yourself in his position?
anonymous plz don't be jealous, we are very proud of Dipprasad Pun, no matter where he has proved once again the true meaning of "Gurkha" (fearless, brave, loyal, honest, hardworking and most trusted by the world) Would you have been able to do that if you find yourself in his position? No never ya
A true soldier. Outstanding bravery.
Ayo Gorkhali! Salute from Bharat - Bir bahadur sons of the best warriors.
