Severely Injured UK Soldier's Journey to Walking on his Own

Rick Clement is one of Britain’s most seriously injured soldiers. He lost his legs and suffered massive internal injuries after stepping on a hidden bomb in Afghanistan.
 
He describes himself as having been 'cut in half' and is unlikely to ever have children.
 
But he is now learning to walk on new prosthetic legs so that he can lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in November.
