"Have I still got my crown jewels?" IED victim jokes after he lost his legs in Afghanistan

“I don’t like the word ‘hero’. I was just an ordinary bloke doing my job for my country when I got my legs blown off. Now I just want to try and help others.” James Rose was just 22 when he stood on an IED while serving with the 2nd Battalion Yorkshire Regiment in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. His injuries were life-changing. But despite losing both his legs in the blast, he has refused to let his disability define him... this is his inspiring story.
