Well done Sir, shame your nation really let you down.
how the fxck is this bloke still alive ? well done mate.....a real life Braveheart
That's gotta be gutting to have this happen to you then realize that the whole war was based on a lie...
thank you for your service🫡
Fab video, Alison! Great to see you in the mag too. ❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! 💙
Great video of the help from BLESMA given when needed the most….. sounds like you suffered an ordeal and lucky to be alive…
What wonderful prosthesis legs he has. Those do not at all look like 1940's technology. My grandfather lived with us. He lost his leg below the knee, so his stump resembled a dog's head. He would move his stump below the knee and bark at us kids - a bit of a laugh. But I suspect this man's first legs might have been similar to my grandfather's. If you think of a pirate's peg leg. It was a length of 3/4" galvanised pipe. A rubber bung where a shoe should be. A carved wooden yoke to fit the stump, held on by buckled leather straps. To limit abrasion, he had several layers of soft fabric, and he treated his stump with lotions and mercurochrome every night. I recall him returning from the limb factory in the mid 1960's with his new state of the art leg. It still had no shoe, but it was fibreglass and so much lighter. Today that leg would be so basic that nobody would respect it, but it was life changing for him. So I look at legs and often chat with those who wear them. That is one area of medicine and rehab that truly has advanced - no doubt about it.
You should never have been in Afghanistan. You can blame your boss for all the injury and death she caused. 💩
Your inspiring Craig. Wow, just watched you on Parlay..
Thank you for your service 🫡
You are a real hero sir . Courage and bavery beyond belief

I had the privilege of serving in the same unit as John(SSM Philips) as he was then, so nice to see his face and hear his voice again after all these years, thank you Blesma

God bless you Craig 👊🏻🙏❤ I wish you all the very best for a successful voyage in your future x My ex partner's cousin - (my children's cuz) works for Blesma in the South West and Channel Islands Region (Steve Fraser MBE). I admire what they do for you all, and I admire All you veterans for the positive and determined out look you have in life, to keep challenging yourself and not allow your life changing injuries to hold you back. You all have my upmost respect. Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration to so many people X
I love this kind man,
If I was him the 1 thing that would annoy me would be that my legs have been missing since 1944
He looks great for 94 and you can tell by the way he talks he’s still very much on it. Seems totally sharp.
he doesn't look like 94 he looks 74
why did 105 people dislike this if it wasent for men like him we would either not be alive or inslaved by nazis
GOD BLESS HIM
Thumbnail made me think he had a pair of vestigial legs...👀
Overcame bitterness and a keeps a positive attitude...a mans man. Thank you sir for your service. God Bless
Well, the maggots might be disgusting (and it absolutely is) but there's a beneficial point to them at least : They eat dead tissues, so it will prevent your limb to rot and potentially kill you
He looks amazing and his mind still so sharp! God bless him!
This guy looks amazing for being in his 90’s
The 102 dislikes are germans
He looks sooo strong for a 94 year old
He talks and walks so confidently for a man in his 90s. Much better than some of my great uncles in their 70s and mind you they all still have their legs.
<3
Thank you. What a lovely gent.
For someone 94, he looks miraculous. A strong, well rounded hero right there, shrugging off the past like it was nothing or something minimal to him. Gen Z should take notes and understand how "Privileged" they are today.
I'll be grateful if I'd be as lively and vigorous as him when I'm 60!
He looks really good for 94 good for him. I hope he’s still alive.
respect hero
Fucking hero men like this don’t get the recognition they deserve
