"I heard the click - then my legs were gone." British hero on the moment he triggered an IED
On May 27th, 2010, Dave Watson, of the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, was on a routine 53-man foot patrol in Afghanistan when he stood on an IED. His injuries were devastating. He lost both legs below the knee and his right arm below the elbow. Here he tells the story of how his life changed forever. This film contains references to injury themes and recovery which some individuals may find distressing.
