Triple amputee war hero reflects on 10 years since end of Op Herrick in Afghanistan
393A decade since the end of operations by British Forces in Afghanistan, former Royal Marine and Invictus Games athlete Mark Ormrod has opened up about the sacrifice and cost of his service.
He was the first triple amputee to survive his battlefield injuries when he lost his right arm and both legs in action on Christmas Eve 2007.
Ten years after the end of Operation Herrick, Mr Ormrod told BFBS Forces News: "I knew back when I signed on the dotted line this was a possibility, and worse. I felt proud of the small part that I played."
