Soldier's tale

(BBC 04/08/2009)

Private Neil McCallion was handing out vital supplies to Afghan schools when his convoy was hit by a suicide bomber. The explosion blasted his Land Rover onto its side, leaving a colleague dead and his left hand feeling numb and badly damaged. "I saw a six-inch piece of metal sticking out of my hand. It was a mess," he said. "My index finger was hanging on by a wee white string, a tendon. I had to grab my hand and hold on to it."
