- A Gurkha who single-handedly fought off an attack by more than a dozen Taliban fighters, has been awarded Britain's second highest military medal - the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross. As the name suggests, it is given for acts of 'conspicuous gallantry' and is second only to the Victoria Cross, which is awarded for 'most conspicuous bravery'.
In over fifteen minutes of fighting Acting Sergeant Dipprasad Pun fired four hundred rounds of ammunition, 17 grenades and, when his rifle jammed, threw his tripod at the enemy knocking one of his attackers down.

1 Gurkha versus 15 Tailbans is hardly a fair fight. They should have improved the odds by sending in 30 Tailbans.
Sierra MatchKing not enough. One gurkha serving in indian army fought with 30 bandits only with khukuri.
AAyo ghorkhali .. jay nepal Ghorkha was bron in nepal
Awesome Facts
Gorkha is the district of Nepal. At the time of PNS. Gorkhali are the one who is from gorkhali district and they fought with other states to unify nepal into one country, so they say the word aayo gorkhali cuz they were from gorkha. Well I feel proud that my ancestors were from gorkha district and they fought the war that unified single Nepal. I've hear that in tista river they used to wash the blood form the khukuri.
One report says 30... It may have been a different gurhkan though.

"before they kill me, i have to kill off some of them"......dang that mindset is awesome
I'm the same on my xbox! ;)
***** really ? i always thought they are majority if not all hindus
***** No, uddos. The difference is that the gurkha is fighting under allegiance to the Queen against several armed men who are trying to kill him. A Muslim suicide bomber is just trying to kill as many defenceless civilians as he can. There is a difference there; the Muslim Extremist is no hero.
Also, please don't confuse Muslim Extremist with every follower of Islam. They don't all need to be under that umbrella.
***** He was admired not because of how many he killed, but how many he protected his team from.
***** Afghanistan is not a Taliban country; it's just infested with Taliban Insurgency. The reason the Gurkhas were there, is because they're in the British Army. Gurkhas are, believe it or not, the most respected regiment in, and by the British Army, including the 22nd Regiment (the SAS). A lot of regiments were involved in the Afghan war, and the Gurkha Regiment was one of them.
“After 400 rounds, 17 grenades, his rifle jammed, so he threw his weapons tripod at an attacker”
What a fucking hero
Question is: Did they make him sign for that tripod? :c)
Even Rambo movie sound more real than this heero action! Respect 4 this brave soldiers!

Indian Army Field Marshal Manekshaw said that "If a man says he is not afraid of dying, he is either lying or is a Gurkha."
(Gurkha are Nepalese.)
মুহাম্মদ ইসলাম you are aware India has a Gorkha regiment right ?
@Truth why do you think its a joke, I don't think you have knowledge about Gorkhas(not actually gurkhas). They genetically are stronger and have more stamina in them so they fight better because they have 30% more RBC than other people as they originally come from himalays of nepal.

On a side note, his Grandfather won the VC in WWII. Bad ass runs in the family.
DesertFernweh is that true? It would also prove another phrase that talent usually skips a generation.
You don't know that for sure. Perhaps his father was never in combat or in a situation to show what talents he may have. You are making an assumption without facts. Did you serve in combat or serve at all? Probably not would be my guess.
Imagine the conversations they would have.
Dip: Son, you must come back with a medal or you're not my son
Son: Yes, father.
Son: *comes back with a body of a decorated enemy officer*
lol his surname is Pun and the legendary person who ot VC was Gurung
@@xXx4ss yeah bro he also rceived it but the guy shown in the video isn't grandson of legendary VC winner
I remember a story about these lads, in the second world war they were being trained as parachutists in the Airborne division; and before their first training flight and drop, they were briefed on the fact they would be dropping out of the plane at 400 ft. This caused consternation and alarm within their ranks as they talked away in their own language among themselves. The officer impatiently interrupts the commotion to ask what is all the fuss about, when a Gorkha asks 'Sir, the men would prefer to be dropped out at 200 ft,'. To which the officer exclaimed 'Why? That is too low, the parachutes won't have time to open!' With this there was a collective sigh of relief among the Gorkhas, and the one who voiced their concerns said, 'ah, that is fine. We thought we were jumping without parachutes!'.
They were prepared to jump out of a plane at 200 ft without!!! Says it all.
damn , this was funny and great at the same time
Bruh moment
Awesome, respect to them
Stop it! wa ha ha ha !
This is likely completely bs.
Everyone who holds a Nepalese passport should have free access to the British isles. That’s a matter of fact they have fought for us for over 200 years.
Actually Nepalese who fought for ther land protection is way much evil than these teen fought for other countries mainly for money
@@Nepal.17 They were not evil, they were like demigods, ancient India was always so brave.
And yes, Gurkhas in history were definitely much more brave than today's one.
Also, Sikh people are also extremely brave, once they fought 21 vs 10,000 fight with Afghans.
You always want to have them in your company, they're so pure and are men of their words and when it comes to killing there's not even a machine which is better . You guys should give these military servants citizenship and good resources for their service.
You will be full of hindus then.
I agree

This man DESERVED The Victoria Cross.
Ronbo710 Although he didn't got it other Gurkha have got like Lacchaman G. G
I'm no military man nor am I too knowledgeable about matters such as these, however, looking into it it seems that the difference between Conspicuous Gallantry Cross and the Victoria Cross is that in order to get the Victoria Cross you have to do something that is not expected, for lack of a better word.
What Dipprasad Pun did was he defended his position, if he didn't he was going to die. If he was in his position and saw another position was being overrun and he chose to run to and save the position then he may well have received the Victoria Cross.
If you look at a few of the Victoria Cross recipients it tends to be that they put themselves at further risk in order to help others. If you look at some other Gurkhas who revied a victoria cross. Gaje Ghale chose to ignore his significant wounds during a conflict and chose to continue fighting and leading his men. Bhanbhagta Gurung's unit came under fire, first a sniper and later several foxholes and each time he abandoned his cover and charged the enemy.
You can also compare the actions of Dipprasad Pun with those of his grandfather Tul Bahadur Pun who received the Victoria Cross.
the only reason he didn't get it is because he is a mercenary not a soldier , but yes he more than earned and deserved it !
natho dynommiter - If he’s in the Gurkha regiment then there’s nothing preventing him from getting a Victoria Cross. While they can be described as mercenaries they are an official part of the British military. Gurkha soldiers in the past have received the Victoria Cross.
Imagine avoiding machinegun fire and granades and successfully climbing on the roof and you just get killed by a machinegun tripod

I am very proud of those peoples who can easily give up their life to achieve some goals..or serve their master..but, sometimes i feel their minds are hacked and they are brainwashed to give up life on demand of their master
when it comes to honesty and patriotism then I dont think it should be regarded as brainwashed.
Alex Skywalker yes indeed... proud to be nepali... Proud to be gorkha
CZcams Videos who is not brainwashed in this world. It is matter of proud for Gorkhas as they are known for Loyalty, Integrity & Bravery even for other countries whereever they serve.
Qeeran Rana Agree, this is a precious culture Gorkhas have been carrying.
I just love these guys. Complete savages on the battlefield but then so humble and kind when the fighting has finished. True warriors, no better friend and no worse enemy. The Gurkhas will always have a place in the heart of us Brits.
The Brits need to give them a more fairer salary :(. They are just getting paid around just one third of a British Infantryman's wage :(
TakeThe RedPill It's worth mentioning.. British Gurkha's that is.
Alan Henderson Sorry, not sure what you're getting at? Can you clarify?
TakeThe RedPill The British fighting Gurkha stands out I mean.
Alan Henderson As opposed to what other kind of Gurkha?
My dad was RAF, I served in the Canadian forces in the 70's. I Met a Gorkha officer while training in Ontario and he disappeared on me in an open field with short grass. I was his driver and couldn't go back without him so I searched for him for 40 minutes. When I stepped on him for the third time, he grabbed my ankle and told me I was dead with a smile on his face. My uncle served with them in Burma and told me stories of them slipping snakes into the sleeping bags of soldiers they thought were not strong. I have always said that if I had to go into battle I want a van doux (Royal 22 Regiment of Canada) on my left and a Gurkha on my Right. God Bless the Nepalese Soldier! Thank you all for your service over the centuries.
Command: retreat, your surrounded.
Ghurkha: All I am surrounded by is fear, and dead men.
Gurkha would have said "good I can fire any side"
True words said by gurkha's captain to gurkha's in ladhak war against Pakistan in India". When they were surrounded by Pakistanis on top of a mountain.
And they won even after emptying their bullets and killing enemies with their kukaris.
I am a ordinary British citizen.....I have never served in her majesty's armed service....But the respect we hold for the Ghurkhas and the gratitude we owe you, holds no bounds......My family and grandchildren sleep in peace every night because of your contribution to keeping my nation free from oppression and tyranny...for what it is worth, we send you guys a BIG Thank You.
I agree completely with everything you have said.
I also agree with what you say, but it is a real shame and I mean SHAME the way the UK treated the Gurkhas in HK at the hand over of HK to china. Cast off like a pair of smelly socks. These were soldiers who committed to 20 year stints of service.
Lo Knight
send them some money if you are really thankful for saving your ass
Caesar88888 LOL I did.
I was stationed with these guys and some of the best times was having some drinks and just listening to them talk about their lives. They're so humble but ready to fight in a blink.
So why is this thumbnail some random chick?
Yes and Gurkhas are Nepalese😊😊😊😊
My uncle was with the VanDoos in the Korean war. While on guard duty in a foxhole on the front lines he and his platoon were instructed to tie their boot laces in a certain way, and to keep them that way. Without explanation. It turns out that a platoon of Gurkhas was going on an exploritory mission and would be crawling into foxhole holes looking for the enemy by feeling how their laces were tied. If your boot laces were not tied as instructed you were deemed to be the enemy and subject to being beheaded. My uncle told us that captured enemy soldiers were absolutely terrified of having to face Gurkhas. He also told us that these soldiers were fearless, respectful, humble and did everything at double time. In all my uncle's career he stated that their best allies ever were the Gurkhas. God bless them for being on our side.
thanks for sharing. really amazing story
"Before they kill me I have to kill some of them". Priceless! You've got to love the Gurkhas.
@Aaryan Bhandari we appreciate every nepalese person. All absolute legends who dont give up. It's rare to have such a nation gifted with traits deemed rare in other place so common in yours

So now does he get a full pension from the UK after the campaign here to get former Gurkha's to be treated as well as British ex military?

Why the *hell* was he not awarded the VC?? Outstanding work, Sergeant Pun!
Just saw this .. I agree 110% Why ! the f*ck this guy did not receive the VC
I can only think that these guy's are still being treated as 2nd class citizens by the British Government. ( and before anyone starts I'm UK born and breed 50yrs ) It's a shame "Joanna Lumly " has not been aware and SHAMED the British Forces / Government into awarding this guy the VC .. Wouldn't have been surprised if "They didn't Fine / Punish him for misuse of Military Property; ie. throwing machine gun tripod at the enemy". Yet.. we allow illegal imigrants into this country day after day .. feed / cloth and house them ... then shit on the "Gurkha's" Makes me angry, I was going to be ashamed to be British .. But I'm proud of our "Forces" and I respect Any guy that serves his country ; British or not. "Per Mare, Per Terram"
In all fairness, the VC is awarded only very rarely, and often enough posthumously -- of the fourteen since WW II, 8 were posthumous. The last non-posthumous award was in 2005 to a Grenadian private, Johnson Beharry -- if you're keeping track of race, Beharry is not white. The last non-posthumous award in the British Army before that was in 1965, forty years earlier: it was awarded to (then) Lance Corporal Rambahadur Limbu of the 10th Gurkha Rifles. (Two soldiers in the Australian army also received non-posthumous VCs in the late 60s.) Brave and valorous as L.Cpl. Pun's actions were, they're weren't quite up to the standard required for a VC. Take Rambahadur Limbu's actions on Borneo: Two soldiers from his detachment had been wounded and were lying where Indonesian soldiers could fire directly on them. One of them had been carrying the group's Bren gun as well. Limbu, whom other Gurkhas were trying to cover, attempted to get close enough to rescue his two wounded comrades. However, he soon decided that he would just have to make a run for it. To the utter amazement of those covering him, he simply sprang up, ran straight into the line of Indonesian fire and, with bullets flying all round him, picked one man up and carried him to safety. He had cheated death once, but that still left one wounded comrade to rescue, and to the shock of the others Limbu, having set down the first wounded man, turned round and ran right back into a hail of bullets. He picked up the second man and brought him back too. Death cheated twice. Yet the unit's Bren gun was still out there. One guess as to L.Cpl. Limbu's next action. Having secured the Bren gun, he then led his unit against the Indonesians' position; in the ensuing action he killed four Indonesians. This is the sort of thing for which the VC is awarded. N.b., by the way, the sequence of L.Cpl. Limbu's actions: first, rescue comrades; second, secure gun; third, lead attack. Incidentally, it was only when the Indonesians were in full retreat that Limbu noticed on his uniform the bits of brain from one of the two men whom he had rescued. Sadly, both later succumbed to their injuries.
because for a Ghurka 12 Taliban is a warm up.
WildMan So true
@Will Scathlocke I think you'll find that a VC was also awarded to Captain Harry H Jones of the Parachute Regiment in 1983? after The Falklands campaign?

Gurkhas are awesome.. Even new zealand soldiers respect the incredible gurkha!!
Gurkha were also in galepoli in Anzac war. As Australian from nepali decendent I am very proud of my ansestors. British officer said Gurkha were worth every gold that they cost. And also said if they had more Gurkha galepoli would never have cost as much as it did. Even a beach in Turkey was named as Gurkha beach. They achieved something many didn't think it was achievable. Gurkha were in British side of the campaign and were one of the first to enter and last to leave. 200000 of them served in WW1 and I believe all Nepali decendent are proud of New Zealand especially the man that climbed Everest and is also in today newzeland money. 😀 I hope you know who I mean. I know all newzeland know of him but just giving some friendly riddle. Something else to be proud of. Newzeland a country with the clearest water and the inventor of Bungy jump. I have visited both island of newzeland. And did not knew it was once part of nsw. A state in Australia. Either way I think newzeland is one of the greatest and chill nation in world.

I've met a few Gurkhas who where actively serving when they came to Wales for a Visit. They are lovely people and are best Soldiers ever. We was doing a Project together which was remembering those who died in WW1. It was a Project which was done by people all over the U.K and we dressed up in replica WW1 uniforms and Marched for miles. It was a theater project and we was all over the News and Social Media. So proud to be apart of it.

I remember reading a news report of the Gurkha Rifles fighting in Afghanistan early on, they were ordered to attack a Taleban position and got into trouble with the British media when they brought their CO the severed Heads of the Taleban leaders, fucking awesome :P
true.....
Pablo Jay stupid media and "life lovers" will never understand. savage need to be ended in a savage way.
+Pablo Jay I believe they were told to photograph the retinas of the taliban either killed or captured on an operation but because of a firefight they had to get out of there. So his only options were to leave without proof or chop his head off and scan his retinas back at the PB. He chose the latter.
Wow, that sounds plausible , either way its a solid looking excuse :P raimesey

All hail the Gurkhas ! Mess with the best...die like the rest.
30 years ago a friend was in the British Army. Just before he went out for sentry duty one night the sergeant called the sentries together to tell them that Gurkhas would be coming through the lines that night but they wouldn't see them or hear them. My friend thought 'I'm an experienced professional soldier, I'll be able to spot them'. He concentrated on spotting the Gurkhas and only realised they had gone through the lines when he found his shoelaces had been tied together.
I have so much, SO MUCH respect for the Gurkhas! They are extremely honorable men who are incredibly brave, loyal and courageous! I remember the first time I had the honor to meet one, that handshake I got was memorable! There was a saying: “If a man says he is not afraid to die, he is either lying or he is a Gurkha”
The majority of British are incredibly proud and nationalistic when it comes to the British Armed Forces, yet somehow they (we) seem to reserve a very special kind of admiration for the Gurkhas that other British branches, battalions, regiments etc. would love to receive. They really are something quite special, its difficult to say what exactly. Incredible soldiers and personalities.

Had a lot to say about the Bravery of both. But the Gurkhas in particular.

It sucks that the British army chooses to make the Gurkha infantryman salary so low in comparison. They should have the same salary as every other British soldier of the same job. The salary gap is huge!

Hero’s all, But never mess with a Gurkha who is not afraid to die and is determined to take as many of the enemy with him and if he draws his Kukri he’s going to take a lot with him, The Gurkhas deserve nothing but the utmost respect for their Bravery, Loyalty and Tenacity, This Gurkha deserved the Victoria Cross in my opinion.
Thank you for your service to Britain and the rest of us.
He killed 15 of them with a bacon sandwich when he ran out of ammo.
He slaughtered them with an arsenal of short to medium range pork sausage missiles
To A Rutledge ,. Shush, mate, that is a classified weapon, never to be spoken off.
Hooray for the British people and their allies. The Gurkhas have a long and honorable tradition with the British. I'm a 20 year retiree from the U S Marine Corps myself. God bless the British people. God bless the USA. In case you need to know, I'm of Norwegian and Apache ancestery. . Have a happy!
When you fight with or against a Gurkha you know you faught against the greater warrior earth have ever seen. How rare is it.when the enemy that you fight against praise you for bravery. Respected worldwide for there courage. Gurkha are protector first and to protect there cause they will kill to live. Rather than surender which break troop moral. Atleast you know with Gurkha there is never derseters. A unit that will never fail you in battle unless death overtakes. Even after death they will remembered by both side of conflicted parties for there action in battle.

Sam manikshya x field marshal of indian army once told if a man tells he is not scared of death then either he is lying or he is a Gurkha

"Sir, recon are saying there are 400 Taliban amassed 1 klick north of the FOB"
"Only 400? Nothing to worry about, we have 80 Gurkhas"
That girl is such a gentle person I'm impressed
These comment section is killing me with goosebumps.. Never left so proud to be Nepali.
RIP to All Legends Who Passed Away in War....Jay Nepal
In over fifteen minutes of fighting Acting Sergeant Dipprasad Pun fired four hundred rounds of ammunition, 17 grenades and, when his rifle jammed, threw hi.
"Sir we're outnumbered 15-1!"
"Then it is an even fight"
Always an even fight for a Gurkha! 😎 These guys are from the land of Mahakali and they won't break a sweat after killing the demons.

U guys are amazing !! ❤
bir gorkhali!!!!!!!! we will always remember you and gorkhas.
I was serving when this happened, and his story quickly became legend everywhere
Its an immensely proud honour to have the Gurkha,s serve as part of the British army,such an elite fighting force
Acting Sergeant Dipprasad Pun, a brave man indeed...
But did you know his grandfather Tul Bahadur Pun *VC* served in Burma during WW2...
although Pun is their last name, they are not blood-related. but we can say that in a sense that PUNs are Magars and Magars are the clans regarded by the British as martial clans of Nepal just like Gurungs, Rais and Limbus.
pun can be gurung too
I don't know what warrants a Victoria cross but I'm thinking you have gotta be either dead or be holding the hand of angles to do more than that man, cheers to him and great honors to his batallion.
Richard Green or be a English solder.
What a hard as nails hero. I’m lost for what to say. Truly incredible. Bless him.
Can't believe this news was atleast 9 years ago. I thought it was just last 2 year. Well again Gurkha bravery can't be forgotten
This man deserves the vc...
what a absolute legend.............enough said
My both father and Uncle also served in the British Army. He is now 80 years old. My whole family came to UK back in May 2016. I even went to school and made so many friends , they all were so friendly. My English wasn't that good back then but despite that I used to play with them all time. I can never forget that school, friends and those amazing teachers. Very good memory of mine.
@yasodha laxmi shahyes of course they did
Gurkhas have always been synonymous with bravery and incredible toughness
