Sergeant Dipprasad Pun got through more than 400 rounds of ammunition and an assortment of grenades during his extraordinary one-man stand on the roof of an isolated sentry-post.
At one point, when his gun could no longer fire, he resorted to battering one Taliban fighter, who was trying to scale the wall to attack him, over the head with the tripod of his machine gun.
The 31-year-old from Bima in western Nepal, has been awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross.
He is the third generation of his family to be decorated for bravery after his father Purna, an Indian Gurkha, and his grandfather.
He is among more than 130 soldiers, marines and airmen being honoured for their bravery during a six-month tour of duty in Afghanistan 2014.
