Hi everyone, Unfortunately, during my research into Sergeant Dipprasad Pun’s actions, I could not find any information regarding the other three Gurkhas who were in the patrol base at the time of the Taliban attack. A Ministry of Defence report, Sgt. Pun’s Conspicuous Gallantry Cross citation, an interview with Sgt. Pun and an interview with Sgt. Pun’s Commanding Officer, make no mention of the three, besides that they were present at the base and that Sergeant Pun’s actions “saved the lives of his three comrades”. Also, another fact I was unable to squeeze into the video was that Sergeant Dipprasad Pun was the third member of his family to have served in the Gurkha's. His father served before him, and his grandfather, Lieutenant Tul Pun, served with the 3/6th Gurkha Rifles during the Second World War and was awarded the Victoria Cross for leading a charge against, and single-handedly clearing, a Japanese bunker position in Burma in June 1944. Thanks, LfE

I heard a story a while ago that during ww2 a company of Gurkhas was asked to jumped behind enemy's lines. After discussing with his men, the company commander reported back and said they're willing to take the mission on the condition that the plane had to fly no higher than 100ft and the ground had to be soft where they would land. They didn't know they'd be given parachutes. Yet they still accepted the mission. Crazy men them Gurkhas

Another story I heard: In Burma, in WW2, a company of Gurkhas engaged a Japanese patrol and killed all of them. The British Officer in command, ordered the Gurkhas to dig graves and bury them all. While they were doing so, one of the “dead” Japanese staggered to his feet and and ran. Within seconds, half a dozen Gurkhas were after him with khukris drawn, he would certainly have been killed, but for the British Officer yelling at his men not to kill him, just bring him back. Later the Officer gave the Gurkhas a stern lecture about the iniquity of killing POWs. The puzzled Gurkha NCO replied “ But Sir you told us to bury them, and it would not have been proper to bury him while he was still alive” 😀

Sgt Pun is truly such a humble guy and was fortunate to meet him in Woolwich where he was speaking at a Nepal community center and is truly all that people have come to expect and as a veteran, myself hold in very much high regard

There are Gurkhas serving in the Singapore Police Force too. Saw one once, and his death stare almost made me pee my pants. Absolute monster of a man. Wasn't the biggest guy, but his aura of death and fearlessness was awe inspiring.

Great job, Sergeant Dipprasad Pun. You are a credit to your country, your ancestry, and your comrades. And to your family. I served ten years as a US Army Infantry Officer - but all in peacetime. I did earn and wear a Ranger Tab, and a Senior Parachutist badge - and I did graduate from the US Army Jungle School at Ft. Sherman, Panama - back when it still existed. RLTW - but - I would be proud to serve alongside Gurkha soldiers.

I’ve had the pleasure of serving alongside the Gurkhas and I can tell you they’re the most humble and kind people you’re ever likely to meet. Some of the most determined and talented soldiers around.

I'm proud to have commanded on ops and trained these soldiers, many years ago. Excellent warriors and superb marksmen, every one!

Thank christ these guys are on our side Sgt Pun you are a legend among men. You simply do not mess with the Gurkha Rifles!

absolute respect to this amazing soldier

Since I first discovered your channel last year, I've been waiting to hear the full exploits of this Legend

I'm not one too write about my personal life but I suffer from PTSD, not combat related or military in any way but I was involved in a drive by shooting and shot in the shin, after that day I always lived my live in fear of being killed or "finished off" but when I seen the motto at the end of the video "better to die than be a coward" that shit really hit me.

Gurkha are know for there fierce fighting. I have nothing but respect for them.

15 hostiles and he didn't even had to use his Kukri, what a legend.

Sgt Pun is the perfect lethal weapon of a warrior fighting spirit and determined to destroy the terrorists and the Taliban by any means necessary

Gurkhas really are something special. im so glad they are in our military.

This country owes a great debt of gratitude to these brave men. You can support these men via Gurkha Trust.Great video again LFE.

Respect for that man! Sounds like he was warming up for the main event before unsheathing his kukri.

It’s hard to say how humble, polite, friendly and helpful all the Gurkhas I have met have been. They are terrific guys, and the opposite of macho. They are however, as tough as fuck.

I once asked a retired Gurkha what was their secret to thier legendary valour, was it something in the water up in the foothills of Nepal prehaps? He just smiled and said it was for their youth, he said that they must always ensure that their youth would have the chance to be employed by the British Army, my admiration for them increased ten fold when I heard that.

Thank you for your service, maximum respect for all those in the armed forces. I'm just glad these boys are on our side, absolute warriors.

Thank you , Sir for making a video about Gurkha 💞🙏 always wanted one from you ! this kind of videos keeps me motivated for selection

Probably said before, but well meant: improvise, adapt and overcome. Sgt. Pun is an inspiration as much as he is a hero.

Even this American civilian has heard of the Gurkhas and their extraordinary reputations as effective, valiant soldiers known for almost "superhuman" resilience and bravery , who're DEFINITELY not to be underestimated. Glad to have the commonwealth as a U.S. ally.

That is very true about the laces. Reports are that in a war zone at times British soldiers felt someting touch their ankles when they looked down they saw the smiling face of a Gurkha giving them the thumbs up sign. If an enemy soldier was unlucky enough to feel the same thing the last thing they saw was a glint of the metal from the kukri before their head was removed. The Gurkha's were checking the way the boots were laced up. The British army had a standard way of doing it which they knew all British soldiers used, the enemy laced them in a different way, wrong lacing and it was bye bye head.

There's a reason they call it the "public servant". It won't work and you can't fire it.

That must be one of the scariest things that could happen in moments like that... Sgt. Pun has big tungsten balls

@John Smith "Not too bad" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

The boogie man looks under his bed for Sgt. Dipprasad Pun before he goes to sleep. Thank God the Gurkhas are on our side.

Can't beat 'em, get 'em to join you.

Got to love the Gurkha's, unless you're the enemy! Total respect to these fearsome worriers!!!🇬🇧🇳🇵

The British are lucky to have these magnificent warriors in their military.

Everybody is a gangster untill Sergeant Dipprasad Pun comes

good look into the chaos in real battle. you can never be prepared for that.

Mad respect for the humble yet oh so lethal warriors from Nepal.....

Moral of the story, Never mess with a Gurkha

The Gurkhas have a long history of some very amazing encounters with enemies. One legend, if memory serves me well, was Gurkhas entering an enemy barracks in the dead of night and killing every second man without waking the others and then leaving.

My appreciation for this warrior! Bravo!....👏. From an American admirer.

Gurkhas are absolute warriors as this video showed. Single handedly defebding a base against swarm of enemy insurgents using any means nesscery to defend himself & the base from bring overrun. What a hero

Utmost respect for these loyal, fierce warriors who are the loveliest people.

His whole family are incredible. What a man.

Thank god the Gurkha are on our side. Huge respect.

Gurkha's have been recruited in numerous armies around the world. # 1 reason. Bravery. I had this ex Gurkha guide in Nepal. The cutest smile but when I touched his arm it was metal. The fact he was 50 plus means something.

That’s a VC worthy man if I’ve ever seen it! And I’m not even British!! Outstanding hero!!

Paras: we're the toughest! Royal Marines: no, WE'RE the toughest! Gurkhas: *just smile*

Paras are feared and respected, the Royal Marines are pussies compared to the Paras, but none are as feared or as loyal as the Gurkhas, The Taliban and others have found out just how deadly they are, ask any enemy of Britain who have faced them in combat. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Gurkha's and would march into hell and back with those guys beside me.

@Schrödinger's Cat It was always a friendly rivalry between the different units, it always pushed us to be better soldiers and one thing is we would always stand with our brothers no matter what unit they came from.

I've heard that Gurkhas are extremely friendly and always have a smile on their face... as long as you're on their side. According to the guys I know who've worked with them, they're awesome, lighthearted guys who you'd otherwise never suspect were hardcore killers. But then there's that reputation. Which is well-documented. And well-earned. So when they smile at you, you smile back.

so generic

Sgt. Dipprasad Pun’s courageous actions are yet another addition to the much-deserved Gurkha legend.

Wow the Gurkha serve so many armies .... The Nepal Army, The Indian Army and even the British Army 😯

@S Thanks for the info .... U blew my mind once again 🤯

I met two Gurkha Soldiers during rappelling training in Korea during the 80's. They had no fear at all. Doing Australian rappelling, and they literally took off running off the cliff screaming while our knees were shaking. They also had some cool knives. They let us touch them but not hold them. Their ranks were low, but both had combat experience.

My grandad fought alongside the gurkas in Burma, I'll never forget his story.... the gurkas sneaked into the enemy's camp and tied their shoe laces together, freaked them out and the camp surrendered the following morning....

This channel should have at least 1 millions subs. Told all my other buddies about this. Love the content man. Don’t stop no matter what.

I've read all the comments so far and they all agree that the Gurkhas are incredibly brave warriors in battle. My daughter has a different story. She worked with some of them during the BSE crisis where they assisted in the disposing of the dead cattle. She reports they were the most respectful and gentle men she had ever met with many very annoyed at the death of the cattle. Don't ever dare disrespect a Gurkha in her presence she go mad, and I doubt she even knows of their excellence in battle, she only judges them on the humanity she witnessed from the ones she met. Two very different sides to the one coin.
