A Gurkha soldier who single-handedly held off an attack on his base as Tailban insurgents tried to overrun it is receiving the second highest medal for bravery today. After exhausting all his ammunition - including grenades and a mine - Acting Sergeant Dipprasad Pun still fought on using the tripod of his machine gun to repel the militants. He says he's a "a very lucky guy" and is proud to be given the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.
