EXCLUSIVE: SHOT IN THE HEAD TWICE ..BUT HERO KEPT ON FIRING
Gurkha up for medal
By Rupert Hamer Defence Correspondent
A HERO soldier carried on battling against the Taliban in Afghanistan despite being shot TWICE in the head.

Gurkha rifleman Nabin Rai, 23, who is being put forward for a bravery medal, was hit in the eye as he fired his machine-gun at insurgents who were trying to overrun his base.

A bullet then smashed into his helmet, knocking him to the ground, but stayed at his post - and carried on shooting.

His courageous stand came as his base in Nowzad in Afghanistan's lawless Helmand Province was surrounded by Taliban. In a 10-day battle Nabin and 30 of his comrades fought off wave after wave of attacks - with the Taliban getting within 20 metres of their camp.

"A bullet hit the sight of my machine-gun," said Rifleman Rai from Camp Bastion, the main British base in Helmand. "It broke up but fragments went into my right eye. The Taliban were deliberately targeting the machine-gun but I continued to fire the weapon. I was in a Sangar, a fortified outpost. A comrade noticed that I was bleeding from my eye, but we had to keep fighting as the Taliban were getting closer.

"Eventually a doctor treated the wound, taking out some of the bullet fragments, but not all. I went back to my post and continued firing. The Taliban were pouring in fire towards us so I got my second weapon, which is a mini machine-gun, and fought on with that.


"A bullet hit me in the helmet and knocked me down for a second but I leant over the Sangar and continued firing with the mini machine-gun."


Several Victoria Crosses are expected to be awarded to troops in Helmand. Nabin's commander, Major Dan Rex, 34, said: "Rifleman Rai was exposed to enemy fire throughout. We had a good fight. Everyone performed superbly."


The platoon was eventually relieved. Doctors removed the remaining bullet fragments from Nabin's eye and he is still serving in Helmand. Rifleman Baren Limbu, 22, who fought alongside Nabin, may also be put forward for an award. A source from the 2nd Battalion, The Gurkha Rifles, confirmed: "The men showed extraordinary bravery. We expect they will be publicly recognised."

Well, being proud or whatever, I think will depend on what your view is in being mercenery and I will not debate or elaborate on it.

Rai's act has once again reinforced the notion about how brave Gurkha soldiers are. I think he being bhanja or not does not matter. What is more important than the medal is his health.

To answer question, I think he is not. Thank you for the news,sajhakhohero

mercenery? you are wrong in dude. they are called no more mercenaries anymore. haven't you learnt that they(gurkhas) and his families from 1997 onwards are given equal rights and even uk citizenship as par with the britishcounterparts.
also dude in country like Nepal where opportunities are so few and limited in addition to discrimination, being soldiers in foreign country is better than not doing anything.
As our forefathers said "Kaphar hunnu bhanda marnu ramro" still rings in my ear.
therefore i feel proud of nabin rai for upholding the names of our forefathers.

how can you be sure he is not ex. GC banja.?
I remembered Dipendra Rai and he had his younger bro, nabin. Nabin always wanted to become british lahure. lost contact with him.

sajhakhohero, they may not be called mercenry anymore but what do you think the world at large view them as ?

sajhakhohero, where are you now ? I am sure you are not in Singapore. Are you in the States ?

Dipendra never mentioned about his borther being in the army when I was in London.

"I do not confer praise or blame: I accept. I am the measure of all things. I am the centre of the world."

well nabin was diffenrent from dipendra. while dip. was into studies nab. was into sports.
last time i saw them both was in 2003 in ktm.

anyway who cares about the world? the last most important thing is someone's need to feed his family in nepal or wherevere he might be located? who thinks about that?

There is two side of the coin and this being a forum, there is bound to be people who will differ in opinion. One has to to accept that. And what you were in the last paragraph, I must say thats true in some sense but the world does see Gurkhas as mercenery.


Anyway you have not answerred my question about your location.

"I am born into this world, a world without boundary, race, religion or creed;
I am a free man where no government, politics or system can stop me from going to wherever i want to or where i want to. Afterall i am a free man born into this world"
"i lived next to white house"
